Rating: - Very Instructive
I've gone through the content for ACT 1. This review is based on that.
Surprisingly and despite the many details ( I suppose necessary for illustration purposes ) , the content is very useful. All the concepts and principles are spelt out - albeit buried under the mountain of details.

- Science meets presentation
Terrific book and one of a few that mark change for the future of presentation, whether its in technical education (where I work), sales, or any situation where successfully transferring information and influencing is important.We will look back at the way its done now like we now look at George Washington's Wooden teeth or the idea that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Today we work AGAINST ourselves and this book shows how to increase the value of a presentation through the use of visual media.

This book goes beyond the nuts and bolts of putting together a great PowerPoint presentation.It goes deep into the psychology of human attention and our ability to comprehend new material.If you want to persuade, inform, or teach a group of folks, this book will really help.
Rating: - Love the new approach
Great philosophy! I hate when people read me things off of power points, it makes it seem like such a waste of time. This book fixes that in plain language and step by step directions. Sometimes I think they belabor some points, but it may be necessary to ride our minds of old ways of thinking.
