Summary

Morville (U. of Michigan's School of Information, among other affiliations) coauthored the 1998 work Information Architecture for the World Wide Web and helped bring the term information architecture into focus. Here he continues to develop ideas that look beyond simply designing attractive and functional web pages to the bigger picture of how people find their way to those pages." ... [F]indability is going ambient, just in time," according to Morville. He explains what he means in the context of current and future technology and the history of how humans (and non-humans) seek, find, lose, retrieve, represent, and, generally, find their way. It's quite a wide-ranging area of thought, and Morville brings together insights from many fields for readers involved with understanding how the internet will develop and affect entrepreneurs, consumers, software designers, and the social fabric.
