The Forward is by Marvin Minsky and it, as well as the Preface and Table of Contents are on the publishers webpage.An expended version of this review can be found on my website, with links to the Publisher, the Forward, Preface, Table of Contents and some of the papers the book references.
Tonfoni takes careful steps to ensure that readers are using the book correctly in order to get the optimal results. Author Graziella Tonfoni says "Even among the literate, writing is at best a difficult activity that frequently results in discouragement and ineffective communication certainly does make writing easier, but it's having innovative ideas to undergird technological advances that will make a real difference." With "Writing as a Visual Art," Tonofoni introduces a revolutionary approach to writing by exploring it as a visual, multidimensional experience. This book is geared towards a very general audience including, but not limited to, journalists, teachers, writers, students, creative writers, technical writers and those who write only the occasional office memo, report or proposal.. The six chapters have headings that are not usually encountered in a writing manual, but make for a very interesting read: Some of them are: "Writing with Visual Symbols," "Shaping and Organising Text in Space," and "Building Textual Objects."
