Book Synopsis
Rethinking design through the lens of embodied cognition provides a novel way of understanding human interaction with technology. 

In this book, Christopher Baber uses embodied cognition as a lens through which to view both how designers engage in creative practices and how people use designed artifacts.

This understanding of everyday interactions with things in the world reveals opportunities for design to intervene. Moreover, Baber argues, design is an embodied activity in which the continual engagement between designers and their materials is at the heart of design practice.   
 
Baber proposes that design and creativity should be considered in dynamic, rather than discrete, terms and explores “task ecologies&r
