Dear Mills,    (01)

Here are a couple of examples of diagrams I use (adapted from 
various sources):    (02)

1. Space-time diagrams for individuals showing composition and 
classifications.
2. Modified Venn diagrams (following Chris Partridge) showing
classifications and subtype/supertype relationships.    (03)

I have found both very powerful in communicating with 
non-specialists.    (04)


Regards    (05)
