The Telling Image: The Changing Balance between Pictures and Words in a Technological Age: Science, Technology, and Society Series, cartea 5

Autor Duncan Davies, Diana and Robin Bathurst
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 1990
Almost unnoticed, profound changes are taking place in society as our methods of communication come to depend more on pictures and images and less on words and numbers. These changes, which are largely being brought about by the increasing use of computers, affect a wide range of human activities: science and technology, commerce and industry, medicine, education, the media, and the everyday world of shopping, entertainment, and travel.Bringing to bear a wide range of scientific, technological, and industrial experience on this phenomenon, this highly readable account reviews its history and examines the implications for science, technology, and society. It explores the problems of storing and indexing images in digital computers and goes on to discuss present and future trends in the use of images for communication.

Recenzii

`Duncan Davies came to realise that an increasing proportion of what we learn is reaching us in the form of pictures. When he died his book was completed on his behalf and in his memory and of his concepts. It is an important message and as we make whatever transition there is to picture communication this book will help all understand what is happening. Computer Books Review
'This book is crammed with valuable information, sensible argument and is well written. It deserves a place in everybody's reference library.'Les Free, Media Information Australia, No. 67, February 1993
