  abstract =     "Marcus draws on his considerable consulting experience
                 to give a practitioner's tour of metaphor use in
                 computer interfaces. He introduces the relevant terms
                 and distinctions as background, then summarizes the
                 history of metaphors in computing, noting both
                 advantages (borrowed familiarity) and disadvantages
                 (failure to transfer easily across cultures). The
                 discussion culminates in a detailed, thoroughly
                 illustrated case study of how Marcus and his colleagues
                 iteratively developed suitable metaphors for use in
                 software to assist travel agents. He also includes over
                 two dozen references on metaphor related to user
                 interfaces.",
