This textbook introduces the foundations of human-computer interaction, covering basic psychology and computer technology, models and methods for interface design and applications. It can be used as a text for a course in HCI or as the basis for a curriculum in HCI, with sections of it being taken separately for single course units. Later parts of the book cover more advanced material, but no initial knowledge is assumed. The authors have combined a broad, yet detailed look at HCI from a psychological and computer science perspective, which emphasizes the design of interactive systems. The text is supported by worked examples and exercises of varying difficulty and suggested projects.

Living with a dog is supposed to be fun, right? But when your dog is reactive, walks can be a nightmare – filled with the stress of trying to avoid other dogs or people. And many of the things you planned to do with your dog – family days out, doggy sports, relaxing holidays – are out of the question altogether. You tense up when you see someone coming. It only makes things worse, but it is hard not to when you know how your dog is going to behave. You are embarrassed and desperate. You feel like such a failure and just want it to stop.Reactivity is hard to live with but when we think of it as just a dog issue – that our dog has a problem behaviour that we have to modify – we are missing half of the story. To make real progress, we also need to transform ourselves. Your End of the Lead is a ground-breaking book, which will show you how to shape your thinking and adjust what you do so that you can be successful in helping your dog. Taking a holistic approach and bringing together ideas from a diverse range of disciplines, Janet Finlay offers practical ways to change your mindset, so that you can really enjoy life with your dog again while helping you to develop the skillset you need to make real progress in resolving your dog’s reactivity. With the help of this book, you can start to become the confident, resilient, mindful guardian for your dog that you have always wanted to be.Dr Janet Finlay is a Tellington TTouch Instructor, accredited dog trainer and qualified coach for people.

An Introduction To Artificial Intelligence

An authoritative and accessible one-stop resource, An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence presents the first full examination of AI. Designed to provide an understanding of the foundations of artificial intelligence, it examines the central computational techniques employed by AI, including knowledge representation, search, reasoning, and learning, as well as the principal application domains of expert systems, natural language, vision, robotics, software agents and cognitive modeling. Many of the major philosophical and ethical issues of AI are also introduced. Throughout the volume, the authors provide detailed, well-illustrated treatments of each topic with abundant examples and exercises. The authors bring this exciting field to life by presenting a substantial and robust introduction to artificial intelligence in a clear and concise coursebook form. This book stands as a core text for all computer scientists approaching AI for the first time.
