From Knowledge to Narrative shows that museum educators—professionals responsible for making collections intelligble to viewers—have become central figures in shaping exhibits. Challenging the traditional, scholarly presentation of objects, educators argue that, rather than transmitting knowledge, museums' displays should construct narratives that are determined as much by what is meaningful to visitors as by what curators intend. Lisa C. Roberts discusses museum education in relation to entertainment, as a tool of empowerment, as a shaper of experience, and as an ethical responsibility. The book argues for an expanded role for museum education based less on explaining objects than on interpreting narratives.
"Perception is not something that happens to us, or in us," writes Alva Noë. "It is something we do." In Action in Perception, Noë argues that perception and perceptual consciousness depend on capacities for action and thought—that perception is a kind of thoughtful activity. Touch, not vision, should be our model for perception. Perception is not a process in the brain, but a kind of skillful activity of the body as a whole. We enact our perceptual experience. To perceive, according to this enactive approach to perception, is not merely to have sensations; it is to have sensations that we understand. In Action in Perception, Noë investigates the forms this understanding can take. He be...

In the last two hundred years, the field of ergonomics has become a multidisciplinary science, incorporating elements of anatomy, physiology, psychology and engineering, all with the goal of making products and systems fit the people who use them. Ergonomics in Product Design is an invaluable resource for designers looking to stay at the forefront of ergonomic design, starting with a breakdown of human body points and percentiles, moving into an overview of principles and culminating in a curated selection of cutting-edge ergonomically designed products. Chairs and computer peripherals might be the first things to come to mind, and both are certainly covered here, along with much more: a thermometer, shampoo dispenser, bar of soap, bottle opener, fire extinguisher, dishes and tableware, wheelchairs, crutches, safety masks and more - all re-imagined based on the latest in ergonomic science.
