Why this book here?
This book is such an interesting and useful read that I had to put it up here.
Here's the Amazon Synopsis:
Why do some people lead happy successful lives whilst other face repeated failure and sadness? Why do some find their perfect partner whilst others stagger from one broken relationship to the next? What enables some people to have successful careers whilst apparently similar others find themselves trapped with jobs they detest? And can unlucky people do anything to improve their luck - and lives? Ten years ago, Dr Richard Wiseman decided to search for the elusive luck factor by investigating the actual beliefs and experiences of lucky and unlucky people. Looking at the results, Wiseman was able to identify four main factors which explained living a lucky and unlucky life. He was then able to show a group of people that considered themselves unlucky, how to think and behave like lucky people. The results were astounding with almost all participants reporting significant life changes: including increased levels of luck, self-esteem, physical well-being, confidence and success. In this study of luck, Dr Wiseman not only identifies '"he Luck Factor", but shows us how we can all bring more luck into our lives. Get serious. Get this book!

An excellent book that every web designer should have read (at least once!). It gives clear and brilliant advice, written in a straightforward and humorous way, as to why you should write sites to be Usable.

The book design and layout are very clean with ample use of example photography and Photoshop screen grabs throughout.
Lots of useful information on the new tools and features in Photoshop 7, and indeed there is nice coverage of the tools, often overlooked, that were introduced with version 6. (For Mac or PC)

Jakob Nielsen is considered the 'Web Usability Guru' of our times and this is his take of usability. Many take this book as their bible and while we wouldn't advocate using this as the definitive guide, it's a good start.
