Theoretical Foundations of Multimedia

How can I express my ideas most effectively? How do I harness the power of multimedia? In Theoretical Foundations of Multimedia, Robert S. Tannenbaum combs the fields of computer science, information systems, journalism, English, and the graphic arts in search of a modern answer to these questions. Tannenbaum binds together this entertaining and savvy look at multimedia's technical, creative, and social sides by weaving two themes - human communication and technology - neatly and consistently through the book. A dual-platform (IBM- and Macintosh-compatible) CD-ROM, which serves as a study tool and offers a sampling of multimedia's creative possibilities, accompanies the text.
