Well, almost anything can be drawn by hand, so I assume youre looking for
books that contain solid ideas about how to visually represent or portray
systems, etc. On that score, if you can find it, none is better than
Gordon Lippitts "Visualizing Change." Any university or college library
ought to be able to find a copy (and, No, you cant have mine).
