Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Extensively revised and rewritten in light of recent advances, this best-selling text is a comprehensive examination of human-computer interaction. The central focus of this exciting revision is the design of computer technology, and how computer technology can be made more usable by people. 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.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 611-627) and index.

Part I: Foundations -- The human -- The computer -- The interaction -- Part II: Design practice -- Usability paradigms and principles -- The design process -- Models of the user in design -- Task analysis -- Dialog notations and design -- Models of the system -- Implementation support -- Evaluation techniques -- Help and documentation -- Part III: Application areas -- Groupware -- CSCW and social issues -- Out of the glass box -- Hypertext, multimedia and the world wide web.
