5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensible reference guide that is fun to read., 20 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This book is an reference guide for making decisions about computer based information resources. It covers CD-ROMs, web sites, and commercial databases. The first half of the book develops the design theory involved in human computer interfaces and the second half of the book shows how to apply that theory. The presentation of the material is well organized and flows in a logical manner. At the same time, the reader can dive into the book at any point, and completely comprehend the material or find useful items of information. It is an excellent reference guide because of the many tables, figures, and checklists that can be used immediately to make decisions on computer based information resources. At the same time, the coverage of the HCI theory and many reference resources make it an excellent text for learning more about HCI and design of computer based information resources. The interviews with experts in the field such as Don Norman and Jakob Nielsen, side bars on design interface issues, and the field tests of products such as the Southwest Airlines web site and Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia add to the readability and user friendly tone of the book. The variety of material makes the book interesting to read and hard to put aside. This is definitely an indispensable reference guide that will soon be worn from constant use.

5.0 out of 5 stars A merciful blessing - a sensible HCI text, 16 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is an eminently sensible HCI work, devoid of the hyperbole or self gratifying hand waving so often a feature of HCI texts. Feedback from students has been very positive. Easy to read, easy to comprehend with several useful if not very sophisticated examples of systems. The book condenses a good many common design principles (Gould's principles for example) into accessible chunks but avoids any programming lessons. This is either a strength or a weakness depending on your level of knowledge but it does serve to keep the work focused on conceptual issues. Acting as brief interludes between elaborations of theory are interviews with industry figures. The interviews are interesting but one wonders if they will be read again after the first run through. One point to note is that the typesetting of the book creates a fairly generous amount of white space. The average student should be able to read it in a few hours without any trouble - and with considerable immediate benefit.
