Recenzii
"From the first edition, this text was a ‘must have’; it still is. Ergonomics/human factors (E, HF) addresses real problems in the real world and its broad arsenal of methods and tools is one of the strengths of the field. …This fourth edition continues the same overall concept as the first, but has added a number of new chapters and updated all existing ones. As always, the chapter authors are experts in their area. The emphasis on being up-to-date and authoritative makes the book an essential source for anyone interested in the human –system design and interaction."
—Professor Ann Williamson, University of New South Wales, Australia
"… great book. If you liked the previous editions of the book, then you will like this new fourth edition even better. The late John Wilson and his colleague Sarah Sharples have done an amazing job in pulling a group of international experts that cover the range of human factors and ergonomics domains."
—Pascale Carayon, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"For most occupational health physicians, 'Evaluation of Human Work (Fourth Edition)' is likely to be a handy reference source for study or research due to the variety and complexity of the specialist areas discussed. For the trainee in occupational medicine or the experienced consultant, it will be an enlightening source of balanced material to give direction in problem-solving investigations. With its very reasonable price, it would be an asset to any occupational health office or clinic where there is a genuine interest in working practice."

Descriere
Written by experts with real-world experience in applying ergonomics methodology in a range of contexts, this book explores ergonomics/human factors from a "doing it" perspective. More than a cookbook of ergonomics methods, it encourages readers to think about which methods they should apply, when, and why. This book provides a guide to what ergonomics/human factors can offer to industry, business, or human service professionals, and also acts as a reference for practicing ergonomics. All chapters have been revised and several new ones have been added.
