The Telling Image: The Changing Balance Between Pictures and Words in a Technological Age (Science, Technology, and Society Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Profound changes are taking place in our society as our methods of communication come to depend more on pictures and images and less on words and numbers. These changes affect a wide range of fields, including science and technology, commerce and industry, medicine, education, and the media. Many commonplace activities have also been affected, from shopping and travelling to leisure and entertainment. This highly readable volume brings together the most current information on the history and impact of information technology. It explains the importance of sight and sound in human communication, the role of pictures and words, and the changes brought about by the advent of digital computers and television. The book goes on to examine the evolving forms of communication in education, science, engineering and the practice of medicine. This work will interest professionals in many disciplines along with teachers, administrators, policymakers, media workers, and all those concerned with the future of the electronic revolution.

Review
'This book is crammed with valuable information, sensible argument and is well written. It deserves a place in everybody's reference library.' Les Free, Media Information Australia, No. 67, February 1993 `Duncan Davies came to realise that an increasing proportion of what we learn is reaching us in the form of pictures. When he died his book was completed on his behalf and in his memory and of his concepts. It is an important message and as we make whatever transition there is to picture communication this book will help all understand what is happening. Computer Books Review
