Xenia Danos' book contributes to the creation of a platform for
education in the area of graphicacy and refocusing on visual
learning. The foundation for the book is Xenia's literature review
concerning the development of graphicacy in humans. Despite
exploring over 2000 references, the prior research was limited in
scope, but raised many potentially interesting points of departure.
Ken Baynes puts this literature review in context with an opening
essay on the significance of the visual in Western culture. He
explores the role of graphicacy in cultural change, its role in
establishing continuities, and particularly its significance for
shaping the future through modelling and design. After discussing
graphicacy in education, its development and progression, and
relationship to students' learning, Xenia presents a new taxonomy
that she designed primarily to facilitate the analysis of
graphicacy across educational curricula, although it has wider
application. Graphicacy is vital to an extraordinary range of human
activities ranging from design to archaeology. It is a key medium
for communicating ideas, information and proposals in everyday
life. A feature of Xenia's book is a number of case studies
demonstrating current graphic practice in professions as diverse as
dentistry, psychotherapy and engineering. Taken together they serve
to substantiate her argument for the use of graphic media as a
means of learning and expression in education. The book's purpose
is to get graphicacy on the educational agenda and it makes a
powerful case. The book also provides a framework for more
specialist forthcoming LDP titles that take the connection between
graphicacy and design into related areas of practice and education.
