The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint
Edward Tufte takes a critical look at Powerpoint in this short pamphlet.
Given the extent to which presentation software has insinuated itself into both the boardroom and the classroom, this four year old book maintains its relevance. Give it a quick read (it's available in Simmons' Library).
It won't tell you how to make a better presentation, but it will explain the pitfalls of presentation software such as Powerpoint, and why an expert such as Tufte questions its value. As you may guess from the cover, he is not a fan. ;)
