Are they art or science or both? If you 're tired of stagnating in your career or getting marginal feedback when you present to pivotal audiences this book will change your approach process & expectations for developing visual aides It will make the difference between a good presentation & a great one The personality of the book is smart & informative It would be like the merging of an informative Strunk & White's " Elements of Style" with a spunky Anne Lamott
