The HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION HANDBOOK: Fundamentals, Evolving Technologies, and Emerging Applications, edited by Julie A. Jacko and Andrew Sears is a comprehensive survey of this fast-paced field that will be of interest to all HCI practitioners, educators, consultants, and researchers. This includes computer scientists; industrial, electrical, and computer engineers; cognitive scientists; experimental psychologists; human factors professionals; interface and systems designers; product managers; and executives working with product development.   
 
It offers a comprehensive compendium of foundational principles, as well as the most recent advances in conceptualizing, designing, and evaluating computing technologies. It spans a variety of traditional and non-traditional platforms, including desktop and mobile computing, networked and virtual environments, and information appliances. In addition, the volume offers thorough coverage of interaction issues concerning diverse users, including men; women; children; the elderly; and those with cognitive, physical, and perceptual impairments. Another unique feature of this new Handbook is that HCI is presented in the context of special application domains, such as e-commerce, telecommunication, government, healthcare, educational software, entertainment, games, motor vehicles, and aerospace. And best of all, this 1300-page handbook is available in paperback for the low price of $95.00.
