A meticulously created facsimile edition of a classic work on design by the progenitor of today’s information design.Long before the internet and its vast stores of information in digital form, information in analog form needed to be organized so that it was legible and accessible. One designer who revolutionized the presentation of printed information was modernist pioneer Ladislav Sutnar (1897–1976). In 1950, Sutnar and architect K. Lonberg-Holm published Catalog Design Progress, a guide to modernizing the design of printed materials through typographic simplicity, compositional ingenuity, and navigational devices that signal the logical flow of information. This meticulously created facsimile of the original book illustrates and enacts Sutnar’s ideas, making clear their continuing influence on graphic design. In the book, Sutnar contrasts his design style with the conglomeration of text and pictures that characterized earlier printed material. He identifies and illustrates visual fe

Little ones can get lots of practice with letters and numbers as they create dozens of great pictures for coloring. Big Dot-to-Dots & More has about 300 dot-to-dot puzzles that create big, whimsical pictures for coloring. This big book produces big fun, as amazing sights emerge, from a cow in a kayak to a cool cat on a motor bike to a happy hound dog scrubbing up in a sudsy, bubble bath. A few mazes, hidden pictures, tracing, and color-by-number activities add to the fun and learning, combined with a few nursery rhymes.

Kids are sure to be entertained for hours. Turn rainy days, waiting rooms, and travel time into big skill and knowledge-enhancing opportunities!
Digital and online learning is more prevalent than ever, making multimedia learning a primary objective for many instructors. The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning examines cutting-edge research to guide creative teaching methods in online classrooms and training. Recognized as the field's major reference work, this research-based handbook helps define and shape this area of study. This third edition provides the latest progress report from the world's leading multimedia researchers, with forty-six chapters on how to help people learn from words and pictures, particularly in computer-based environments. The chapters demonstrate what works best and establishes optimized practices. It systematically examines well-researched principles of effective multimedia instruction and pinpoints exactly why certain practices succeed by isolating the boundary conditions. The volume is founded upon research findings in learning theory, giving it an informed perspective in explaining precisely
