CHOICE Review

Ergonomics evolved as a recognized discipline just over half a century ago; today it bridges technology and the anatomical human sciences. It is among the best examples of interdisciplinary study, where physicians, engineers, physiologists, and therapists apply an anthropometric approach to problems of work-related environments. This major reference work (available as a printed set or a CD-ROM package) contains pointers to the design appliances, technical systems, and tasks that can improve human safety, physical and mental health, comfort, and performance. It is divided into 12 major sections: general background, human characteristics, performance related factors, information presentation, display and control design, workplace equipment, environmental issues, system characteristics, work design, health and safety, social/economic impacts, and methods and techniques. Each chapter functions as a separate treatise on multiple topics, which are arranged alphabetically, and each includes biographical entries, sketches of designs, and bibliographic references. An example of the highest quality of scholarship, the set contains contributions by the world's leading authorities and reflects the work of the growing number of societies studying ergonomics and human factors engineering. Its clarity, excellent presentation, and ease of use make it essential for all academic and special libraries. J. Gelfand University of California, Irvine
