To effectively address these issues with strong, highly usable, and effective solutions, it is essential to keep pace with the newest advances in the field. With more than 1,300 references to existing literature and 253 key terms with detailed definitions this handbook addresses this need for complete information on the current state of best techniques and practices. Through 33 authoritative contributions by 60 of the world's leading experts this publication presents a full spectrum of successful designs, defined as communicative relation-building solutions, for individuals and collectives of interlocutors.
