Advance Praise for Ambient Findability, Peter Morville's new O'Reilly book:

"A lively, enjoyable and informative tour of a topic that's only going to become more important."

--David Weinberger, Author, Small Pieces Loosely Joined and The Cluetrain Manifesto

"Information that's hard to find will remain information that's hardly found--from one of the fathers of the discipline of information architecture, and one of its most experienced practitioners, come penetrating observations on why findability is elusive and how the act of seeking changes us."

--Steve Papa, Founder and Chairman, Endeca

Today I watched a TV show about an outstanding person Prof. Hugh Miller Herr from MIT and his life, his free climbing talent and practice before he lost both his legs in his youth due to the snow storm and his afterwards his work on artificial limbs development at MIT

http://biomech.media.mit.edu/people/herr.htm

I was so inspired and impressed by the idea and the attitude of having used your current “weakness and loss” as the foundation for overcoming problems and obstacles in life in general and adopting a positive attitude for even more prosperous achievements in life, helping others and making one’s life so much more worth and even – more amusing, more liberated learning to notice in technology development not only what is already available, but even more what isn’t there yet. So I searched more about him and found interesting links on his work http://www.pbs.org/saf/transcripts/transcript405.htm

and family life, and also pages of his wife

and her interesting research in the domain of biology and anthropology

noticing that she belongs to Human Behavior and Evolution Society I have searched for more of their scope of work

The Human Behavior and Evolution Society (HBES) is an interdisciplinary, international society of researchers, primarily from the social and biological sciences, who use modern evolutionary theory to help to discover human nature - including evolved emotional, cognitive and sexual adaptations.

At HBES they have interesting online courses
