Recenzii

"...a timely compilation ... an impressive group of qualified professionals have contributed to this treatise ... an extremely valuable resource for anyone concerned with design of safe systems for humans in general, but explicitly so for children."
-Richard J. Hornick, Ph.D., CPE
Past President of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society

"… describes how valid ergonomics principles can be applied to our most precious commodity - children. … Designers of classrooms, playgrounds, museums, and products for children must read this book. Children will benefit even further if teachers and parents also read this book."
-Stover Snook, PhD, CPE

"This groundbreaking book surveys the state of ergonomics in the design of things for toddlers to teenagers … belongs on the bookshelf of every designer, ergonomist, and engineer who develops products and environments used by people."
-Steven Casey, President of Ergonomic Systems Design, Inc and author of Set Phasers on Stun and The Atomic Chef and Other True Tales of Design, Technology, and Human Error

"… addresses every conceivable aspect of designing products and places for children … the contents are illustrated with some of the most charming photographs of children that you will ever see."
-Douglas H. Harris, Chairman and Principal Scientist, Anacapa Sciences, Inc., Santa Barbara, California, USA

"I am so excited to see this book in press. … provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the range of factors that should be considered when designing for children."
-Wendy A. Rogers, Georgia Institute of Technology, Past President of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society

"… luminary leaders of the human factors and ergonomics community have assembled a panoply of the world's outstanding researchers … Using the central theme of human factors and ergonomics makes this offering unique … a true tour-de-force … a must read … a vital resource … What Dr. Spock did for child-rearing in the baby boom years, Dr. Rice and Ms. Lueder have now done for the generation born into a high-tech world."

Descriere

This is a practical manual about child ergonomics written for people who design for, play with, teach, supervise, and protect children. The authors discuss how to create products and environments for toddlers to teenagers that match their capabilities, stimulate their development, promote learning, and keep them healthy and safe. The first resource of its kind, the book provides guidance based on the latest research. Topics include the sensory-motor, physical, cognitive, and psychosocial stages of development and their implications on topics such as handwriting, designing toys, and warnings, as well as creating child-friendly environments at home, school, on playgrounds, and in public buildings.
