          Taylor & Francis (London), publishers of the journal Behaviour &
          Information Technology, announce publication of "Computers,
          Communication and Mental Models", edited by Donald Day and Diane
          Kovacs.

          This book is a treatment of the cognitive and behavioural issues
          in computer-mediated communication, knowledge representation, and
          computer-supported co-operative work. It develops the theoretical
          basis for treating computerised tools as intermediaries in the
          communication of mental maps between tool builders and tool
          users. Work by specialists in psychology, human-computer
          interaction, communication theory, learning theory and group
          decision making is featured.

          Included are treatments of inherent functionality in metaphoric
          representations; studies of computer-mediated communication;
          examinations of how spatial cognition can be mapped using
          fractals, and of how hypertext can map users' learning of complex
          architectural models. The book bridges themes among several
          disciplines that are relevant to major streams in HCI research.
