"A real gem…clear, concise, and comprehensive."

This is really a booklet, a reprint of a chapter of one of his books, and is a great way to get started on the way he thinks.

A very nice flip-through, very nice visual argumentation. Not exactly a research book, but well argumented.

I enjoyed reading this book very much, even though there is not too much to take out of it. Anyhow definetely worth a read!

This is a good overview book for the development of human-computer interaction, with very nice interviews with people who contributed to the state of the art.
