Title: Classic Tufte, but......
Review: Basically, this is an elegant set of arguments against using Power Point.... for anything. Everything that Power Point users hold near and dear are torn apart in this short treatment.The problem is that Tufte offers no way to use Power Point more effectively, except as a "low resolution slide projector." So, if you want to bash Power Point and are not looking for ways to improve your PPT presentations, this is the book for you.I bemoan the wholesale conversion of lecture slides and overheads to Power Point for no particular reason other than to "become contemporary." But paying even $8.00 for the privilege of being told not to use Power Point is probably not what most instructors have in mind.Spend a little more on The Visual Display of Quantitative Inormation and have something that truly teaches you something.
