[AISWorld] Request for reviewing books

[Shojaeizadeh, Mina]

Dear all,

I am writing to ask if anyone in the AIS community (faculty or PhD student) is interested to review books for Human-centered Informatics Series. Here is an example of one of the book by the author Jonathan Grudin:



>From Tool to Partner: The Evolution of Human-Computer Interaction

By Jonathan Grudin (Microsoft Research)

ISBN: 9781627059633



This is the first comprehensive history of human-computer interaction (HCI). This book describes the different fields that have participated in improving our digital tools. It is organized chronologically, describing major developments across fields in each period. Computer use has changed radically, but many underlying forces are constant. Technology has changed rapidly, human nature very little. An irresistible force meets an immovable object. The exponential rate of technological change gives us little time to react before technology moves on. Patterns and trajectories described in this book provide your best chance to anticipate what could come next.
