Things that Make Us Smart, Donald A. Norman, Perseus Books, 1993.
Similar in tone and scope to his other books (that’s an endorsement:), Things that Make Us Smart explores ways in which we use artifacts to improve our cognitive abilities. A lot of it is anecdotal, but anything that makes me want to both re-consider where things are in my kitchen and also re-arrange my software has some power to it. (Reviewed Jan., ’04)
