Ken Costello presents a powerful case for the use of images, sound and animations in presentations, along with tutorials and realworld examples.

"It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it" (Berger, John. Ways of Seeing. London: Penguin, 1977. Chapter 1; p. 7)
