Universal Usability by Jonathan Lazar
Innovative designers and researchers have begun to design computers that address the real needs of a diverse user population, including older and younger users, users with perceptual, cognitive, and motor impairments, and those that are economically disadvantaged.
"It is probably the most comprehensive book on universal usability and its applications to dateI would therefore recommend it to all people who are interested in universal usability, not only user interface designers. Considering the growing relevance of this topic, it should be read by all people involved in user interface design projects." SAP Design Guild News
