We exist in a visual culture. The importance of reading and interpreting signs has become a rapidly increasing concern in recent years. This book offers an intricate theoretical perspective regarding the study of visual communication and expands the academic arena for debate concerning the visual. Veering away from normative approaches; the author advances with original strides into new ways of understanding the visual experience. Departing from aesthetic and graphic-based directions; the book employs information and language theory to support an enquiry into the connection between perception and linguistics. In dealing with ideas; rather than solutions; the book resonates with a philosophical tenor. However; the author is effective in providing a practical basis for many of the issues discussed alongside this theoretical stance. This book is targeted at a wide range of interdisciplinary readers including media; cultural and communication studies and particularly those with interests in visual theory.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Read!By Winston MarsallesIm a Colorado native and can remember when Breckenridge was just a ski bum town. I really enjoyed this entertaining book because it gave the " haunted history;" of Breckenridge. In other words; even if you dont believe in ghosts; you will still enjoy this well written book about the spooky side of Breckenridge. I also liked that the author included modern time ghost stories; that she is a professional tour guide in Breckenridge and that she actually believes in ghosts. Nice photographs; great research and a really fun read! If you are hungry to know more about the haunts of one of Colorados oldest mining towns; this is a must read!
