Mike Rohde is the godfather of sketchnoting, a visual thinking technique that employs a unique hybrid of hand-written notes, simple drawings and typography. His new book is the definitive guide to it; you can read my review of it here.

For more information about Mike and his work, I recommend you visit his website. The book page for The Sketchnote Handbook can be found here.
