This book provides an introductory overview of the rapid growth in
interdisciplinary research into Thinking with Diagrams.
Diagrammatic representations are becoming more common in everyday
human experience, yet they offer unique challenges to cognitive
science research. Neither linguistic nor perceptual theories are
sufficient to completely explain their advantages and applications.
These research challenges may be part of the reason why so many
diagrams are badly designed or badly used. This is ironic when the
user interfaces of computer software and the worldwide web are
becoming so completely dominated by graphical and diagrammatic
representations. This book includes chapters commissioned from
leading researchers in the major disciplines involved in diagrams
research. They review the philosophical status of diagrams, the
cognitive processes involved in their application, and a range of
specialist fields in which diagrams are central, including
education, architectural design and visual programming languages.
The result is immediately relevant to researchers in cognitive
science and artificial intelligence, as well as in applied
technology areas such as human-computer interaction and information
design.

Artistic Bedfellows is an international interdisciplinary
collection of historical essays, critical papers, case studies,
interviews, and comments from scholars and practitioners that shed
new light on the growing field of collaborative art. This
collection examines the field of collaborative art broadly, while
asking specific questions with regard to the issues of
interdisciplinary and cultural difference, as well as the
psychological and political complexity of collaboration. The
diversity of approach is needed in the current multimedia and cross
disciplinarily world of art. This reader is designed to stimulate
thought and discussion for anyone interested in this growing field
and practice.
