Editorial Reviews

Review

`Publish or perish is a cliché, but true and we all take it seriously. As a result the total medical output doubles about every seven years. Some books form important stepping stones to greater production, and easier life and the more efficient use of resources. This book is one to be recommended highly to all who write, lecture and teach.'
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 75 (1982)
`...one of the most useful practical publications to appear in many a long day. It can be highly recommended.'
Journal of the Institute of Health Education, 23:3
`...Departmental Libraries that do not already possess it should add it to their shelves.'
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 78 (1985)
`Presentation of Data in Science is an excellent book, and every serious research unit producing papers and preparing lectures should have a copy on its shelves - and should use it.'
British Medical Journal

This review is from: Presentation of Data in Science: Publications, Slides, Posters, Overhead Projections, Tape-Slides, Television Fourth Printing (Hardcover)

"Presentation ..." is an excellent summary of the biomechanics of recognition as applied to scientific presentations. Many of the methods described in the latter part of the book for illustration preparation are out of date, but the concepts are timeless. Of the books that the University of New Mexico library has on hand (Tufte's books are lost or permanently checked out) this is the best for the general scientist.
