Written by psychologists, this book focuses on the design of computer systems from the perspective of the user. The authors place human beings firmly at the centre of system design and so assess their cognitive and physical attributes as well as their social needs. The model used specifically takes into consideration the way in which computer technology needs to be designed in order to take account of all these human factors.
The text comprises a careful mix of theory and applications and is spiced throughout with practical examples of do's and don'ts in designing systems.
