DESCRIPTION:
He approaches the issues relating to human factors, usability, and user interface design from the perspective of a computer psychologist with over 30 years of experience. He is also the author of Human Performance Engineering: A Guide for System Designers, and Human Error In Computer Systems.. Bailey has served on the faculties of numerous schools, including Columbia University and Stevens Institute of Technology. Dr. Ro
For user interface specialists, programmers, systems analysts, system designers, project leaders, and system engineers. From the Back Cover Introducing a proven user interface design model for the design and development of high-quality user interfaces, this new edition is a professional guide to designing traditional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and object- oriented graphical user interfaces, plus high-quality character-based interfaces, and state- of-the-art multimedia user interfaces. . Covers prototyping and usability testing; multimedia user interfaces, including discussions of sound, high- resolution images, and full-motion video; task analysis; the three most popular statistical methods; and documentation and training issues

Useful in Academic Settings I've used this book when teaching a human-computer interaction (HCI) course in an engineering psychology program. While there are two extensive texts on HCI I found their emphasis too much on the engineering side. Bailey, while including good technical material, also provides a perspective that fits well with engineering psychology. His information combines well with that in books by Wickens. As promised Christian J. Brown This book shipped just as promised. There were a few highlighted areas of text and you could tell it was used, but it is exactly what I was expecting and what I paid for. Shipping was quicker than I expected and I would definitely purchase form them again. Great job!. Very good book Peter Gullberg (pege@todos.se) It's a very good book. I liked it because it illustrates many problems with human computer interaction/design and it also gives you hints on how to avoid these problems. The book is very straightforward and easy to understand. I specially enjoyed the sections dealing with readability and reading distances. This is the preferred book to have on my bookshelf when I'm designing consumer product
