Why sales of Macintosh computers soared when Apple introduced the colorful iMac? New research on emotion and cognition has shown that attractive things really do work better, as Donald Norman amply demonstrates in this fascinating book, which has garnered acclaim everywhere from <I>Scientific American</I> to <I>The New Yorker</I>. <I>Emotional Design</I> articulates the profound influence of the feelings that objects evoke, from our willingness to spend thousands of dollars on Gucci bags and Rolex watches, to the impact of emotion on the everyday objects of tomorrow. <P> Norman draws on a wealth of examples and the latest scientific insights to present a bold exploration of the objects in our everyday world. <I>Emotional Design</I> will appeal not only to designers and manufacturers but also to managers, psychologists, and general readers who love to think about their stuff. 55045 2003 Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Everyday Things total:227|5:31|4:99|3:75|2:19|1:3| 227 817 468 33 2 0 false false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 09:13:27 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 15:57:53 -0700 2009
