Tribunal
Three wealthy, jaded people look for avenues of excitement; Gus Loring, financier, Bethany, his third wife and Marko Dzare, reclusive billionaire. They opt to buy a remote island and plan to populate it with evildoers who have escaped punishment through due legal process. The first three candidates are selected; Willard Grieg, slum landlord, Louis Marchini, drug lord and a terrorist named Jalave. Because of a highly publicized scandal when Gus is caught in the bed of another woman, Beth files for divorce and Marko decides Gus will no longer be involved with island matters but will continue as his silent business partner. Gus invests in what will be the world's most lucrative hostile takeover. After liquidating his assets, he also borrows heavily to meet his share of the cost but before the deal is consummated, Marko dies and Gus' money mysteriously vanishes. Beth falls in love with Leos Kodaly, one of Marko's assistants. Shortly after the birth of their twin sons, she is focced to live in Greece, in a home she fears.

Understanding Your Users
"Understanding Your Users is an easy to read, easy to implement, how-to guide on usability in the real world. It focuses on the "user requirements gathering" stage of product development and it provides a variety of techniques, many of which may be new to usability professionals. For each technique, readers will learn how to prepare for and conduct the activity, as well as analyze and present the data - all in a practical and hands-on way. The techniques can be used together to form a complete picture of the users' requirements or they can be used separately to address specific product questions. These methods have helped product teams understand the value of user requirements gathering by providing insight into how users work and what they need to be successful at their tasks."--BOOK JACKET.
Rocket Surgery Made Easy

(As he said in Don't Make Me Think, "It's not rocket surgery".) Using practical advice, plenty of illustrations, and his trademark humor, Steve explains how to: Test any design, from a sketch on a napkin to a fully-functioning Web site or applicati...

Visual Thinking for Design
Visual Thinking brings the science of perception to the art of design. Designers increasingly need to present information in ways that aid their audience's thinking process. Fortunately, results from the relatively new science of human visual perception provide valuable guidance. In this book, Colin Ware takes what we now know about perception, cognition, and attention and transforms it into concrete advice that designers can directly apply. He demonstrates how designs can be considered as tools for cognition – extensions of the viewer's brain in much the same way that a hammer is an extension of the user's hand. The book includes hundreds of examples, many in the form of integrated text a...
