In the twenty-first century, cars are still made for twentieth-century purposes. They are inefficient for providing personal mobility within cities -- where most of the world's people now live. In this pathbreaking book, William Mitchell and two industry experts reimagine the automobile, describing vehicles of the near future that are green, smart, connected, and fun to drive.

This book presents a set of NASA studies that characterize the nature of concurrent task demands confronting airline flight crews in routine operations, as opposed to emergency situations. The authors analyze these demands in light of what is known about cognitive processes, particularly those of attention and memory, with the focus upon inadvertent omissions of intended actions by skilled pilots. The studies reported within the book employed several distinct but complementary methods: ethnographic observations, analysis of incident reports submitted by pilots, and cognitive task analysis. They showed that concurrent task management comprises a set of issues distinct from (though related to) mental workload, an area that has been studied extensively by human factors researchers for more than 30 years. This book will be of direct relevance to aviation psychologists and to those involved in aviation training and operations. It will also interest individuals in any domain that involves concurrent task demands, for example the work of emergency room medical teams. Furthermore, the countermeasures presented in the final chapter to reduce vulnerability to errors associated with concurrent task demands can readily be adapted to work in diverse domains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ Hardcover \/ Loukia D Loukopoulos","offer_id":44483470852394,"sku":"9780754673828-01","price":23.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/products\/6f115a_d10a0196995e405c882725e079c6dfdc_mv2.jpg?v=1679261434"},{"product_id":"the-invisible-computer","title":"The Invisible Computer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Invisible Computer: Why Good Products Can Fail, the Personal Computer Is So Complex, and Information Appliances Are the Solution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonald A Norman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom \"Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms\" (motto of the 1933 Chicago USA World's Fair)--to \"People Propose, Science Studies, Technology Conforms\" (Donald Norman's person-centered motto for the twenty-first centuray).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnologies have a life cycle, says Donald Norman, and companies and their products must change as they pass from youth to maturity.

The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible.

In this exciting book, Gene Rochlin takes a closer look at how these familiar and pervasive productions of computerization have become embedded in all our lives, forcing us to narrow the scope of our choices, our modes of control, and our experiences with the real world. Drawing on fascinating narratives from fields that range from military command, air traffic control, and international fund transfers to library cataloging and supermarket checkouts, Rochlin shows that we are rapidly making irreversible and at times harmful changes in our business, social, and personal lives to comply with the formalities and restrictions of information systems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe threat is not the direct one once framed by the idea of insane robots or runaway mainframes usurping human functions for their own purposes, but the gradual loss of control over hardware, software, and function through networks of interconnection and dependence. What Rochlin calls the computer trap has four the lure, the snare, the costs, and the long-term consequences. The lure is the promise of ever more powerful and adaptable tools with simpler and more human-centered interfaces. The snare is what usually ensues. Once heavily invested in the use of computers to perform central tasks, organizations and individuals alike are committed to new capacities and potentials, whether they eventually find them rewarding or not. The varied costs include a dependency on the manufacturers of hardware and software--and a seemingly pathological scramble to keep up with an incredible rate of sometimes unnecessary technological change. Finally, a lack of redundancy and an incredible speed of response make human intervention or control difficult at best when (and not if) something goes wrong. As Rochlin points out, this is particularly true for those systems whose interconnections and mechanisms are so deeply concealed in the computers that no human being fully understands them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"FeaturedDetails\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published January 1, 1997\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Button__container\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ Paperback \/ Gene I Rochlin","offer_id":44846028554538,"sku":"9780691010809","price":22.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/2167863.jpg?v=1683742143"},{"product_id":"the-second-machine-age-work-progress-and-prosperity-in-a-time-of-brilliant-technologies","title":"The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies","description":"\u003cp\u003eErik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA revolution is under way.

Ultimately, boyd argues that society fails young people when paternalism and protectionism hinder teenagers’ ability to become informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens through their online interactions.

In Click , Bill Tancer takes us behind the scenes into the massive database of online intelligence to reveal the naked truth about how we use the Web, navigate to sites, and search for information--and what all of that says about who we are. As online directories replace the yellow pages, search engines replace traditional research, and news sites replace newsprint, we are in an age in which we've come to rely tremendously on the Internet--leaving behind a trail of information about ourselves as a culture and the direction in which we are headed. With surprising and practical insight, Tancer demonstrates how the Internet is changing the way we absorb information and how understanding that change can be used to our advantage in business and in life. Click analyzes the new generation of consumerism in a way no other book has before, showing how we use the Internet, and how those trends provide a wealth of market research nearly as vast as the Internet itself.

sub-plot taking place in New York, Abby Virtually captures a young teenage girl's foray into global tech entrepreneurship against the backdrop of a society caught between modernity, traditional values, and the changing role of women. Abhaya, an Indian teenager from New Delhi, India, cannot stand living at her parents’ home any longer. Sharing a room with an older sister, she distastes a father who is heavy on tradition. A brilliant programmer, Abhaya forges a secret life online, where she rents her services to clients around the world with a secret plan to make enough money, so she can run away from home. With its multiple layers, Abby Virtually introduces readers to themes including contemporary generational gap, ethnical prejudice, and violence against women.

But as architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart point out in this provocative, visionary book, such an approach only perpetuates the one-way, \"cradle to grave\" manufacturing model, dating to the Industrial Revolution, that creates such fantastic amounts of waste and pollution in the first place. Why not challenge the belief that human industry must damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model for making things? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we consider its abundance not wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWaste equals food.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGuided by this principle, McDonough and Braungart explain how products can be designed from the outset so that, after their useful lives, they will provide nourishment for something new.

Or they can be \"technical nutrients\" that will continually circulate as pure and valuable materials within closed-loop industrial cycles, rather than being \"recycled\" -- really, downcycled -- into low-grade materials and uses. Drawing on their experience in (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, McDonough and Braungart make an exciting and viable case for putting eco-effectiveness into practice, and show how anyone involved with making anything can begin to do as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescListItem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--small\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eApril 22, 2002 by North Point Press\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ Paperback \/ William McDonough","offer_id":49834724163882,"sku":"9780865475878","price":26.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/5571.jpg?v=1736700862"},{"product_id":"the-abcs-of-gaming-an-alphabet-book-for-little-gamers","title":"The ABC's of Gaming: An alphabet book for little gamers","description":"\u003cp\u003eLinus Sebastian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ABC's of Gaming is Linus Media Group's first fully custom illustrated board book, and aims to provide a fun tech-themed ABC journey for both kids and adults.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's perfect to read aloud to kids ages 6m - 3yr who are learning the alphabet, but the fun rhymes and bright illustrations can be enjoyed by older kids as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DescListItem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--small\" data-testid=\"contentContainer\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eDecember 1, 2020 by Linus Media Group\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ Boardbook \/ Linus Sebastian","offer_id":50513102143786,"sku":"9781777303600","price":29.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/56263931.png?v=1755624574"},{"product_id":"the-nudist-on-the-late-shift-and-other-true-tales-of-silicon-valley","title":"The Nudist on the Late Shift: And Other True Tales of Silicon Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003ePo Bronson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nudist on the Late Shift is the true story of a new generation at the proving point of their lives, written by the most exciting and authentic literary voice to emerge from Silicon Valley, Po Bronson.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a defining portrait of young people in the whirl of an information revolution and an international gold rush.

With all our media now traveling a single network, an unprecedented potential is building for centralized control over what Americans see and hear. Could history repeat itself with the next industrial consolidation?

Each invited unrestricted use and enterprising experiment until some would-be mogul battled his way to total domination. Here are stories of an uncommon will to power, the power over information: Adolph Zukor, who took a technology once used as commonly as YouTube is today and made it the exclusive prerogative of a kingdom called Hollywood . . . NBC’s founder, David Sarnoff, who, to save his broadcast empire from disruptive visionaries, bullied one inventor (of electronic television) into alcoholic despair and another (this one of FM radio, and his boyhood friend) into suicide . . .

In this fascinating, provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing how the coming changes in our lives--from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence embedded in everything we manufacture--can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces. Kelly both describes these deep trends--interacting, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, tracking, and questioning--and demonstrates how they overlap and are codependent on one another. These larger forces will completely revolutionize the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. By understanding and embracing them, says Kelly, it will be easier for us to remain on top of the coming wave of changes and to arrange our day-to-day relationships with technology in ways that bring forth maximum benefits. Kelly's bright, hopeful book will be indispensable to anyone who seeks guidance on where their business, industry, or life is heading--what to invent, where to work, in what to invest, how to better reach customers, and what to begin to put into place--as this new world emerges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eJune 6, 2017 by Penguin Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ Paperback \/ Kevin Kelly","offer_id":51074362966314,"sku":"9780143110378","price":34.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/33570495.jpg?v=1769097159"},{"product_id":"how-google-works","title":"How Google Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eEric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGoogle Executive Chairman and ex-CEO Eric Schmidt and former SVP of Products Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google over a decade ago as proven technology executives.
