The Design of Everyday Things (originally published in hardcover as The Psychology of Everyday Things) refutes people's age-old response of "it must be my fault" that something won't work. In this book, Don Norman, long recognized as a leader in Human Factors research, discusses how designers fail to take users into account when designing the simplest things, such as telephones and doors. The Design of Everyday Things is an easy read, very hard to put down. You'll laugh at some of the examples he gives, but you'll recognize yourself in many of them, too.This book was recommended by Erika Orrick <orrick@acm.org>
