5.0 out of 5 stars Biological dependencies for cognition, 14 Nov 1997
By A Customer
This is an excellent text which describes an approach to using computers to perform an enabling role within corporate enterprises by using their ability to allow clearer understanding between participants in the workplace. The other aspect of this book looks at current methods of creating AI systems and their fundamental weaknesses. Having read this as part of my MSc. in Information Technology I have re-read it several times and I would recommend it to all those involved in complex system design, implementation and support. In addition a book such as Checklands Soft Systems Methodolgy will give a good introduction to how the systems described in Understanding Computers and Cognition can be designed to meet the demands of "real world" environments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well thought out..., 25 Mar 1997
By A Customer
A remarkable work that delves into the field of human cognition and emerges with a fresh, intelligent perspective of how computers can and cannot support human cognitive efforts. Anyone interested in artificial intelligence and/or workflow will find this book an informative read.

4.0 out of 5 stars For advanced readers, 28 Feb 2009
By Minh Tran (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Understanding Computers and Cognition: A New Foundation for Design (Language and Being) (Hardcover)
A very well written book, but it is for the advanced reader. This book will mainly be of interest to researchers in computing and cognitive science. It's a nice-to-have for practitioners, but don't expect anything resembling guidelines or how-to.
