Designing with Blends: Conceptual Foundations of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Imaz, Manuel / Benyon, David, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The evolution of the concept of mind in cognitive science over the past 25 years creates new ways to think about the interaction of people and computers. New ideas about embodiment, metaphor as a fundamental cognitive process, and conceptual integration--a blending of older concepts that gives rise to new, emergent properties--have become increasingly important in software engineering (SE) and human-computer interaction (HCI). If once computing was based on algorithms, mathematical theories, and formal notations, now the use of stories, metaphors, and blends can contribute to well-informed, sensitive software design. In "Designing with Blends," Manuel Imaz and David Benyon show how these new metaphors and concepts of mind allow us to discover new aspects of HCI-SE. After 60 years, digital technology has come of age, but software design has not kept pace with technological sophistication; people struggle to understand and use their computers, cameras, phones, and other devices. Imaz and Benyon argue that the dominance of digital media in our lives demands changes in HCI-SE based on advances in cognitive science. The idea of embodied cognition, they contend, can change the way we approach design by emphasizing the figurative nature of interaction. Imaz and Benyon offer both theoretical grounding and practical examples that illustrate the advantages of applying cognitive concepts to software design. A new view of cognition, they argue, will develop a cognitive literacy in software and interaction design that helps designers understand the opportunities of digital technology and provides people with a more satisfying interactive experience.

Music Therapy in Palliative Care: New Voices

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aldridge, David, PUBLISHER: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Working together in a creative way to enhance the quality of living can help patients make sense of dying. Within the past decade, music therapists have developed their work with people who have life-threatening illnesses and with those who are dying. Music Therapy in Palliative Care presents some of the work from music therapists working in different approaches, in different countries. They describe their experiences when working with children and adults living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases. Music therapists, as clinicians, are strongly engaged with their clients: it is this intimacy which is so important for those who are suffering. In this book, the dedication of the therapist to allow and encourage personal expression in others, is reflected. It is of relevance, therefore, to all those involved in caring for the sick and the dying. While there are traditions of case presentation and musical excellence within music therapy, and a developing practice of research, the tradition of clinical writing has been neglected.

Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kohn, Alfie, PUBLISHER: Mariner Books, The basic strategy we use for raising children, teaching students, and managing workers can be summarized in six words: do this and you'll get that. We dangle goodies (from candy bars to sales commissions) in front of people in much the same way that we train a family pet. The quick fix of rewards may seem to be effective, but manipulating people with external incentives actually kills their interest in what they are doing and lowers the quality of their work. Indeed, Kohn shows that the decline in our workplaces and classrooms may be related to our acceptance of a theory of motivation derived from lab animals. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research, he points the way to a more successful strategy based on working with people instead of doing things to them. "Do rewards motivate people?" asks Kohn. "Yes. They motivate people to get rewards." Seasoned with humor and familiar examples, Punished By Rewards presents an argument unsettling to hear but impossible to dismiss.

Some Far and Distant Place: Muslim-Christian Encounters

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Addleton, Jonathan S. / Addleton, J. S., PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, Born in Pakistan to Baptist missionaries from rural Georgia, Jonathan S. Addleton crossed the borders of race, culture, class, and religion from an early age. "Some Far and Distant Place" combines family history, social observation, current events, and deeply personal commentary to tell an unusual coming-of-age story that has as much to do with the intersection of cultures as it does with one man's life. Whether sharing ice cream with a young Benazir Bhutto or selling gospel tracts at the tomb of a Sufi saint, Addleton provides insightful and sometimes hilarious glimpses into the Muslim-Christian encounter through the eyes of a young child. His narrative is rooted in many unlikely sources, including a southern storytelling tradition, Urdu ghazal, revivalist hymnology, and the "Anglican Book of Common Prayer." The natural beauty of the Himalayas also leaves a strong and lasting mark, providing solidity in a confusing world that on occasion seems about to tilt out of control. This clear-eyed, insightful memoir describes an experience that will become increasingly more common as cultures that once seemed remote and distant are no longer confined within the bounds of a single nation-state.
