Three Books from CRC Press

Human-Computer Interaction: Designing for Diverse Users and Domains 
Julie Jacko, Georgia Institute of Technology and Andrew Sears, UMBC

While human-computer interaction may have emerged from within computing,
significant contributions have come from a variety of fields including
industrial engineering, psychology. education, and graphic design. Nowhere is
this more apparent then when designing solutions for users as diverse as
children, older adults, and individuals with physical, cognitive, visual, or
hearing impairements. This volume emphasizes design for these groups and also
discusses HCI in the context of specific domains including healthcare, games,
and the aerospace industry. 

Hailed on first publication as a compendium of foundational principles and
cutting-edge research, The Human-Computer Interaction Handbook has become the
gold standard reference in this field. Derived from select chapters of this
groundbreaking resource, Human-Computer Interaction: Designing for Diverse
Users and Domains emphasizes design for users as such as children, older
adults, and individuals with physical, cognitive, visual, and hearing
impairments. It also discusses HCI in the context of specific domains
including healthcare, games, and the aerospace industry.  

Topics include the role of gender in HCI, information technology and older
adults, motor vehicle driver interfaces, and user-centered design in games.

The Universal Access Handbook 
Constantine Stephanidis, Institute of Computer Science and University of
  Crete, Greece 

Written by leading international authorities from academic, research, and
industrial organizations and non-market institutions, The Universal Access
Handbook provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of the field
of universal access. The book discusses how to systematically apply universal
design principles to information technologies. It presents the historical
roots of universal access through the progressive discussion of complementary
approaches to the accessibility of interactive applications and services.
Reviewing current perspectives and trends, the text also includes examples,
case studies, and best practices in new and emerging applications.

Human-Computer Interaction Fundamentals 
Andrew Sears, UMBC and Julie Jacko, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta

Hailed on first publication as a compendium of foundational principles and
cutting-edge research, The Human-Computer Interaction Handbook has become the
gold standard reference in this field. Derived from select chapters of this
groundbreaking and authoritative resource, Human-Computer Interaction
Fundamentals emphasizes emerging topics such as sensor based interactions,
tangible interfaces, augmented cognition, cognition under stress, ubiquitous
and wearable computing, and privacy and security. It puts the spotlight not
only on the fundamental issues involved in the technology of human-computer
interactions and but also on the users themselves. The book features
visionary perspectives and developments that fundamentally transform the way
in which researchers and practitioners view this discipline. 

This book puts the spotlight on the fundamental issues involved in the
technology of human-computer interactions and the users themselves. After
examining the history of the field, it delineates the underlying cognitive
principles of HCI. The volume emphasizes emerging topics such as sensor based
interactions, tangible interfaces, augmented cognition, cognition under
stress, ubiquitous and wearable computing, and privacy and security.
Featuring visionary perspectives, it explores human information processing,
motivation, emotion in HCI, sensor-based input solutions, and accessibility
and diversity issues.
