The world as information

This book takes a very broad view of information, and considers it as a phenomenon in its own right, rather than the technology for handling it. It is very much concerned with the meaning of information, and what we as individuals do with it.

Advances in human-computer interaction volume 1

The pervasiveness of computers in our society has become a cliche. It has, however, done much to highlight the need to make computers easier to use, particularly for the increasing number of users who are not computer specialists. But ease of use is also an issue for computer professionals. Even ...

Artificial intelligence and education, volume two

Since the publication of the first volume, interest and work in the application of artificial intelligence to education has grown rapidly.
