Interaction Design has always been my favorite textbook for all levels of education in HCI so much so it inspired the development of our new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes named after it. With this new edition it continues to be the most updated and accessible work available. As always, it captures state of the art in the field s cumulative body of knowledge, and is a timely pointer toward new and emerging trends in interactive technology design and use.
