"Slide Rulesis useful to anyone creating slides (including Prezi) and to instructors who want to teach their students best practices. While the evidence-assertion method works best for presenting scientific information, this book covers a broad enough territory that even marketing and sales presenters could learn important skills." (Technical Communication, 1 February 2015)
