Computers and People : Essays from the Profession

Description

This book is a selection of essays on relevant topics already published in Computer, mostly in the column The Profession over the past five years. The more general essays have been selected for each section, a general introduction entitled The Context has been written, and the intention is that each section will be introduced by a fairly lengthy essay depicting the general area and serving as a prelude to whatever essays in each section the reader is particularly interested in.

這本書是一系列關於相關主題的文章，這些文章已經在《Computer》雜誌上的專欄「The Profession」中發表了五年。選擇了一些較為一般的文章放在每個章節中，並撰寫了一個名為「The Context」的一般介紹，每個章節的開頭都有一篇相當長的文章，描述該領域的一般情況，並作為讀者對該章節中特別感興趣的文章的序言。
