Cooper's "Communicating Design" course has been extremely helpful,  
because it helps you to sell your design to the stakeholders and  
developers - no matter what hat you wore or will wear to come up with  
the design. Their document templates are worth the price alone.

I'd also recommend Steven Pinker's "How the Mind Works" (1999). It  
gives you insight to both design and communication; both mental models  
and presentation models. If you like that book, continue to "Blank  
Slate" and "Stuff of Thought" by the same author.

The first book "Marks out the territory on which the coming century's  
debate about human nature will be held". (Quote by Oliver Morton, The  
New Yorker - which I agree with - so read the books in that order, if  
you want to study breadth-first :)

Thanks,
Petteri
