Description

Extensively revised and rewritten in light of recent advances, this best-selling text is a comprehensive examination of human-computer interaction.

It provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the subject through a synthesis of computer science, cognitive science, psychology, and sociology, and stresses a principled approach to interactive systems design that fits a software engineering environment.
