Ah, thanks Idris, I was thinking about it. My class is in Italian but
for a cosmopolitan audience, so English is ok.

Hi Andrea,

dp/0881792063/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203600674&sr=8-1
is fundamental and indispensable (Zapf calls it the Typographer's
Bible),
but if your class is in Italian...
Best wishes

Hi to all and sorry for the OT,
but here on the list there are some of the most competent people I
know on the topic.
I will start a course on graphic communication. The students are
ground-zero programmers, all on mac, so I would like to use Nodebox
(http://nodebox.net/).
(Unluckily no time/space to introduce ConTeXt).
I will focus on data visualization, so I was considering to adopt
Tufte's classic The Visual Display etc. I've still not read
Envisioning Information and Visual Explanations.
Any ideas?
I will have also to introduce basic elements of graphic communication
(e.g. fonts, page composition, color usage etc).

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
