Review

This new handbook offers a comprehensive compendium of foundational principles, as well as recent advances in conceptualizing, designing and evaluating computing technologies.
Interaction

This well organized volume begins with an evolutionary perspective on HCI, explores humans and computers in HCI, interaction fundamentals, and interaction for diverse users, including those with impairments. A unique feature is that HCI is presented in the context of special application domains, such as educational software, e-commerce, healthcare, etc. The handbook tackles the development process and management of HCI, discussing human values, ethics, and the evolving role of security, privacy, and trust in a digitized world, and it explores HCI's future. A welcome update for the classic Handbook of Human-Computer Interaction...Summing Up: Recommended. All levels.
CHOICE

This book is vast. Vast in conception, vast in subject matter coverage and vast in physical size. Including the index and other reference material it is some 1300 pages, and it weighs in at 2 kilos. A 24-strong Advisory Board has guided the activities of 124 contributors, all admirably pulled together by Julie Jacko and Andrew Sears. The result is a landmark work; it would be difficult to find another on the same topic with equivalent breadth and coverage.
