Human Factors Engineering and Ergonomics: A Systems Approach (Hardcover)

Editorial Reviews

Review
… a thorough and well-organized textbook. The focus and approach are relevant to current scholarship and research in the field.

- Robert W. Proctor, Purdue University
An addition of a separate chapter on 'stress and work performance' is important. Particulary given our current times, when so many people are experiencing stress at work, and unfortunately, are unaware of the problem. I also like the idea of a chapter on environmental design. We have always had a focus on microenvironments within the purview of human factors courses, but rarely do you see any mention of macro environments.
- Leah Newman, Pennsylvania State University

Product Description
Addressing a wide range of human factors and ergonomics principles, this book emphasizes concept and systems thinking and how the allocation of function between the human and the machine has changed as a result of technological advances. Comprehensive in breadth and depth of coverage, the text focuses on conventional machines and workspace design, artificial life, environmental design, work in outer space, and stress and work performance. A separate chapter on accident analysis and prevention includes an updated review of the effectiveness of safety programs. The authors give you the tools to creatively apply the concepts to new problems
and photographs illustrate real systems in operation.
