Preparing Scientific Illustrations: A Guide to Better Posters, Presentations, and Publications

From reviews of the first edition: 
"The emphasis is on the nuts and bolts of how figures are printed and how knowledge of these processes can be applied by authors when preparing figures to ensure optimal reproduction in a book or journal...every graduate student would benefit from studying [this book]." 
--Trends in Biochemical Sciences

"Mary Helen Briscoe has done every speaker, conference goer, and publisher a tremendous service by providing this readable manual on how to visually present scientific information.  This book should be on the shelf of every educator, researcher, lab, and library.  It should also be required reading for any new scientist giving a paper, presenting a poster, or submitting an article."  --Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Science
