First Sentence
In the bygone millennia our ancestors lived in an essentially "natural" environment in which their existence virtually depended on what they could do directly with their hands (as in obtaining food) and with their feet (as in chasing prey, getting to food sources, and escaping from predators).

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a good book on Human Factors, 19 Jul 2003

By	Alexis Leon (Cochin, India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Human Factors In Engineering and Design (Hardcover)

Ever since the first edition was published in 1957, this landmark book (then titled Human Engineering) has been considered as a Bible in the area of Human Factors in engineering and design. This is a course book and a good reference for Industrial Engineers, Designers, Architects, etc. Any person who is involved in any way with humans and their interaction with their workplace will have a great deal of understanding about his task, once he reads this book. The book gives you unique insights into the mechanism of how humans interact with the elements in their workplace (Ergonomics). With industry and business giving more importance to creating more comfortable workplaces for their employees the significance of this book has increased and will continue to do so.

The book is well written in a very scientific manner presenting the facts and theories and supporting them with clever and clear arguments, pictures and statistical information. You can only wonder how the authors are able to pack so much information in this book. The book contains extensive references, which will give enough information to continue the learning and research.

The layout of the book although good could have been improved if the text was not so tightly packed. One gets the impression that too much text is packed into each page. A layout with more space would have been better and if the binding was 'lay-flat' so that the book will stay open while the reader is taking notes, then it would have been more ergonomic. A book, which deals with human factors, could have been designed according to those principles described in the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars It does not seem as relavant today, but still has sound idea, 24 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Human Factors In Engineering and Design (Hardcover)

The book does not depict enough information about computers in todays changing world. For the Price of the book, It is most likely a regret. But the basic and indepth ideas are worth every penny.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is outdated., 3 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Human Factors In Engineering and Design (Hardcover)

The book discusses many topics that are no longer relevant or are outdated (i.e. their discussion of data entry input [control] devices and VDT screens). When this book was first published, it was more than likely current, but a book of this nature loses its value as quickly as the devices it is written about.
