%T   "Bringing Design to Software"
 
Arising out of a 1992 workshop on People, Computers, and Design at Stanford
University, this collection of papers and interviews is interspersed with
profiles of various systems.  More exploratory than prescriptive, the pieces
look at design in a variety of fields.
 
The articles are generally of good quality.  Some, though, lack analysis, such
as the profile of Microsoft's "Bob" product which makes no mention whatsoever
of its poor reception in the market.
