"The purpose of Jakob Nielsen's Usability Engineering is to help nontechnical people improve the systems so that they are not only error-free but also easier and more pleasant to use, and more efficient. It is a book that ...shows us how to change the world and does so admirably....One of this book's strengths is that it provides a wide selection of methods for improving systems, and allows for the unavoidable constraints of the real world."

Detailed ToC online
The basic philosophy of the book is YOU CAN DO IT! It is about cheap and fast methods that anybody can use in any interface design project (whether Web design, software design, or gadget design) to drastically improve usability. It is quite common to be able to cut users' learning time in half (thus cutting your training budget or support center costs by a similar amount).
