HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION second edition Dix, Finlay, Abowd and Beale mapping between editions

This page gives the mapping between major sections in the first and second editions. It does not list every change, nor every new box or expanded section. Please see the changes and additions page for a description of the new things in the second edition.

Of course we (and Prentice Hall) would like you to purchase a copy of the second edition (!). However, we also want to ensure that owners of the first edition can still use it even when references are given in terms of the second edition and likewise that course notes written refering to the first edition can still be used when students have the second edition.
