Words Fail Me Teresa Monachino
 Witty and amusing handbook to the contradictions and inconsistencies of the English language. In 2004, Lynne Truss' little book on punctuation, Eats, Shoots & Leaves, was a surprise hit. The Sudoku craze swept the country in 2005. This year, why not challenge your brain with words instead of numbers? WORDS FAIL ME by Teresa Monachino, is a collection of mind-teasing wordplay designed to artfully manipulate the unpredictability of the English language. Award-winning designer and typographer Teresa Monachino has always been baffled by the English language's contradictions and peculiarities. Words do not mean what they say--the middle letters of believe spell lie. Words have the same spelling but differ in both pronunciation and meaning--minute is both miniscule and a measurement of time. Words are paired together redundantly--empty space or honest truth. WORDS FAIL ME is a witty collection of these unruly words, all set in Monachino's immaculate ......

Where the Action Is: The Foundations of Embodied Interaction (Bradford Books) Paul Dourish
 Computer science as an engineering discipline has been spectacularly successful. Yet it is also a philosophical enterprise in the way it represents the world and creates and manipulates models of reality, people, and action. In this book, Paul Dourish addresses the philosophical bases of human-computer interaction. He looks at how what he calls "embodied interaction" -- an approach to interacting with software systems that emphasizes skilled, engaged practice rather than disembodied rationality -- reflects the phenomenological approaches of Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and other twentieth-century philosophers. The phenomenological tradition emphasizes the primacy of natural practice over abstract cognition in everyday activity. Dourish shows how this perspective can shed light on the foundational underpinnings of current research on embodied interaction. He looks in particular at how tangible and social approaches to interaction are related, how they can be used to analyze......

Engineering Culture: Control and Commitment in a High-Tech Corporation Gideon Kunda
 In this intriguing ethnography of a large American high-tech corporation, Gideon Kunda offers a critical analysis of its much celebrated "corporate culture." In his extensive study of the company's engineering division, Kunda uses detailed descriptions of everyday rituals and interactions in which the culture is brought to life, excerpts from in-depth interviews and a wide variety of corporate texts to vividly portray managerial attempts to design and impose the culture and the ways in which it is experienced by members of the organization. The company's management, Kunda reveals, uses a variety of methods to promulgate what it claims is a non-authoritarian, informal, and flexible work environment that enhances and rewards individual commitment, initiative, and creativity while promoting personal growth. The author demonstrates, however, that these pervasive efforts mask an elaborate and subtle form of normative control in which the members' minds and hearts become the target of......
