Paperback: 322 pages Brandy's notes: My entry into this project was sharing an Air BnB with Sam Bradd during EuViz. We talked about our colleagues who were doing such strong work, but weren't sharing it. There's so much richness and diversity to visual practice, beyond "the scribe" at the wall.

Brandy's notes: I saw the enormous growth in the graphic facilitation field, but a lot of folks weren't fortunate to come from a solid foundation of facilitation like I had. They could easily discuss the materials of our work, but struggled to understand the role and the skills. This book aimed to help colleagues understand the power and responsibilities in the graphic facilitator/recorder role. I am exceeding proud that Nancy was right in her quote (at right), with many people recommending the GFG as The Bible of our field. |

Rengen:
The Rise of the Cultural Consumer - and What It Means to Your
Business Ideas - and
the forms in which they are expressed - are the new currency.
Yet many companies, the media, and even the general population
mistakenly see America as an intellectual and cultural wasteland
defined by reality television and fast food. RenGen is about the
rise of the next "renaissance generation" - an emerging

and eager to challenge the status quo. |
