(Re)Searching The Digital Bauhaus
Springer 2008; US$ 99.99Interaction design entered the scene of design as computer scientists and engineers realized that technology is a design material rather than a neutral set of tools and machinery supporting life at work or at home. Since then, interaction designers have been actively involved in exploring new design concepts for anything from interactive websites to... more...
3C Vision
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 49.95The exponential explosion of images and videos concerns everybody's common life, since this media is now present everywhere and in all human activities.

Adaptive Interaction
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2013; US$ 35.00This lecture describes a theoretical framework for the behavioural sciences that holds high promise for theory-driven research and design in Human-Computer Interaction. The framework is designed to tackle the adaptive, ecological, and bounded nature of human behaviour. It is designed to help scientists and practitioners reason about why people choose... more...
Adaptive Perspectives on Human-Technology Interaction
Oxford University Press 2006; US$ 39.99How to understand and support cognition in human-technology interaction is both a practically and socially relevant problem. The chapters frame this problem in adaptive terms: how are behaviour and cognition adapted, or perhaps ill-adapted, to the demands and opportunities of an environment where interaction is mediated by tools and technology? more...
Adaptive Perspectives on Human-Technology Interaction
Oxford University Press, USA 2009; US$ 39.99In everyday life, and particularly in the modern workplace, information technology and automation increasingly mediate, augment, and sometimes even interfere with how humans interact with their environment.
