Publisher Synopsis
The pages of Graphesis teem with color reproductions of 5,000 years' worth of various modes of visually rendered knowledge-showing how they have emerged and developed over time, growing familiar but also defining or reinforcing ways to apprehend information...

In this text, Drucker should be applauded for taking a broad view of her subject, tackling little-studied imagery as well as visual systems of thinking. -- Elizabeth Guffey, Professor of Art and Design History, Purchase College, State University of New York Graphesis is a sophisticated critique of some of the foundational assumptions of HCI (human-computer interaction), interaction design, and information visualization. Drucker makes a compelling case for the value of humanistic inquiry into subjects that have traditionally belonged solely to computer experts and social scientists. -- Maria Engberg, Assistant Professor of Media Technology, Malmoe University, and Jay David Bolter, Professor of Digital Media, Georgia Institute of Technology Read more...
