Abstract :
I came to Holcombe´s and Stein´s new book, Presentations for Decision Makers, after having read and reviewed their earlier book, Report Writing for Decision Makers (IEEE Trans. Prof. Commun., 27(1):47). Therefore, before I opened it, I couldn´t resist guessing about several features I thought I would find in the new book. It would have, I (correctly) predicted, a strong emphasis on • Careful audience analysis • The composing process • Visual techniques to develop and refine logical and effective organizational patterns.
