Alan Cooper, Ancestry Thinker, Software Alchemist, Regenerative Rancher, Author of The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity

This is a clear and compelling introduction to a topic that affects us all--UX and how it shapes the technology experiences we have every day. I can see using this in my general education HCI introduction course--it covers key aspects of the field and also raises important questions of ethics and of inclusion.

In this approachable book, Celia Hodent distills her decades of knowledge and experience into a practical guide. She gives her voice to typical topics, such as the importance of understanding human capability and limitations, but also to rare ones, such as ethics in design. Light on jargon and heavy on practical questions, this is an ideal book for anyone exploring the possibility of a career in UX.
