“If you care about Interaction Design, you should own this book.
Exhaustive coverage by world authorities. … one book that covers
the gamut. Highly recommended, highly practical.” — Don Norman,
Northwestern University and the Nielsen Norman group, Author of
Emotional Design and The Design of Everyday Things
“Comprehensive and thorough coverage of all the important issues
related to user interfaces and usability. A useful reference work
for anybody in the field…” — Jakob Nielsen, Author, Designing Web
Usability: The Practice of Simplicity and Prioritizing Web
Usability "… provides an unmatched range of topics … Building from
fundamental theories, models, and empirical findings, the book’s
chapters tour numerous application areas and user populations with
implications for virtually anyone working in any part of our field.
The organization of content into thematic parts and relevant
chapters makes the book easy to use both as a topical reference and
for a cover-to-cover voyage. … Teachers, researchers, students, and
practitioners will all find this volume a must-have for their
libraries, and a must-read for maintaining a holistic view of what
human-computer interaction and its acolytes have achieved."— Jacob
O. Wobbrock, Ph.D., University of Washington, Seattle, USA"… I find
the book to be a useful resource for all HCI practitioners and
researchers. … provides extensive coverage of key topics and
methods in human-computer interaction and includes contributions by
experts from a diverse set of communities and disciplinary
perspectives. Certainly one of the few books all HCI practitioners
and researchers should have in their bookshelves."—Bilge Mutlu,
University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA"Coordinating and editing the
contributions of more than 140 authors, Jacko (Univ. of Minnesota)
has done an amazing job in creating a well-organized, uniform
reference to the state of the art in human-computer interaction
(HCI). … an excellent, easy-to-use reference. … The 29 chapters
comprising the first three parts lay the foundation of HCI. Parts 4
and 5 elaborate on design issues. Part 6, "The Development
Process," is so large that it is further divided into three
subsections: "Requirements Specification," "Design and
Development," and "Testing, Evaluation, and Technology Transfer."
Each chapter contains its own set of references, and the book has
separate author and subject indexes, both of which are quite large.
Summing Up: Highly recommended." —J. Beidler, University of
Scranton“If you care about Interaction Design, you should own this

bedrock chapters from the second edition have been retained and
updated, and new chapters that cover advances in technology have
been added. … It contains enough provocative ideas to keep legions
of readers busy until the next edition appears."—Technical
