Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art

Alan Manning · 1 Mar 1998

INSIGHTS about professional communication may come from odd and unexpected places. McCloud's Understanding Comics (hereafter UC) is a case in point. Despite the juvenile connotations evoked by any discussion of comic books, the theory of visual communication presented in UC arguably rivals the best of contemporary semiotics (that is, the study of how we make…

Technical writer's handbook

Harry E. Chandler, William Giesecke · 1 Jun 1983

A handbook Technical writer's handbook is not. The book's design and page format and the writer's style do not permit easy access to the wealth of information available in this book. However, for the selective and patient reader, useful and thought provoking material can be found.

Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for Building and Testing Behavioral Causal Theory: When to Choose It and How to Use It

Paul Benjamin Lowry, James Gaskin · 22 Apr 2014

Problem: Partial least squares (PLS), a form of structural equation modeling (SEM), can provide much value for causal inquiry in communication-related and behavioral research fields. Despite the wide availability of technical information on PLS, many behavioral and communication researchers often do not use PLS in situations in which it could provide unique theoretical insights. Moreover,…

Thinking aloud: reconciling theory and practice

Ted Boren, Judith Ramey · 1 Jan 2000

Ericsson and H.A. Simon's (1984) seminal work. After reviewing Ericsson and Simon's theoretical basis…

Design Research Through Practice: From the Lab, Field, and Showroom

Ilpo Koskinen, John Zimmerman, Thomas Binder et al. · 20 Aug 2013

The authors of this volume (Ilpo Koskinen, John Zimmerman, Thomas Binder, Johan Redstrom, and Stephan Wensveen) argue that design research needs more than mathematics: it needs many other vocabularies as well, including art, cultural studies, anthropology, cognitive psychology, and communication. The book is clearly written and helpfully designed, with focused case studies and incisive cartoon-like…
