             Subject: in the spirit of multilinguality

    In Humanist 15.590 I recommended the book,

    Winograd, Terry and Fernando Flores, Understanding Computers and Cognition:
    A New Foundation for Design, (220 pp.) Norwood, NJ: Ablex, 1986. Paperback
    issued by Addison-Wesley, 1987.

    The following are noted on his homepage (ironically, accents not surviving
    Humanist, but then note his approach to Japanese, which none here have yet
    protested the like of):

    French: L'intelligence Artificielle en Question, Paris: Presses
    Universitaire de France, 1989.
    German: Erkenntnis Maschinen Verstehen, Berlin: Rotbuch Verlag, 1989
    Italian: Calcolatori e Conoscenza: Un Nuovo Approccio ala Progettazione
    delle Tecnologie dell'Informazione, Milano: Arnoldo Mondadori, 1987.
    Japanese: (Understanding Computers and Cognition), Tokyo: Sangyo-Tosho, 1989.
    Spanish: Hacia la Comprension de la Informatica y la Cognicion: Ordenadores
    y concomiento: fundamentos para el diseno del siglo XXI, Editorial Hispano
    Europea, 1989.

    Now there are many more of us with no good excuse not to read this
    excellent book.

    Yours helpfully,
    WM
