-- Eric Isaacson is expertly trained to see the subtleties in how various kinds of visual images, representations, diagrams, and displays communicate, or fail to readily convey, crucial information according to praise from Robert Hatten. He has published, presented, and taught on visualizing music for over 28 years.

-- This book serves music scholars by offering a guide to effectively communicate visually. It has the potential to spark further research leading to the development of new approaches in visualization and expansions to existing methodologies.

-- Visualizations are powerful agents of musical meaning, so publication as part of IUP's Musical Meaning and Interpretation series is fitting.

-- The target audience includes scholars and advanced students in music theory, musicology, and visualization in the arts.
