I bought yesterday “>An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, and I could not stop until I read it.
It was very easy and enjoyable to read.
If one day I have to publish a book, I want that looks like this one.
It is one of the most well design books ever done.
Simple, clear, attractive, direct.
You can agree or desagree with Al Gore (and many of his own paqes in this book are quite boring) but nobody will dispute that the Rodale team has produced a very compelling product under the design direction of Charlie Melcher and his mgmt.design firm.
Newspapers need to realize that this is the kind of design for the new generations of readers.
The mix of words and images, ideas and presentation makes this book a piece of art, yes, but also a very powerful tool to present a very important issue: the global warming.
