Synopsis

A simple to use catalogue, containing a wealth of illustrations, with a unique combination of written text and visual aids.Visual aids can provide information, provoke discussion and discovery, and make difficult ideas easy to understand. They can also improve the accessibility of a book or a poster simply by making it look more interesting. The book contains more than 1,200 drawings (over 700 new to this second edition) relating to a wide range of educational and health issues, along with advice on copying, enlarging, and otherwise changing the illustrations to make them appropriate to a particular situation, without using special equipment. There is also advice on pre-testing materials, to make sure their message will be understood by the intended audience.
