International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors - 3 Volume Set

The International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors is the first encyclopedia for this field. It forms an authoritative compendium of current knowledge on ergonomics and human factors consisting of approximately 500 entries published in two volumes plus a CD-ROM. The entries are organized alphabetically and written in such a way that non-experts can get a clear and simple outline of the topic as well as some precise practical information. It also includes a bibliography structured by theme. Technical terms are defined (where possible) within entries as well as in a glossary; so all readers should find this resource invaluable, whether they have ergonomics, engineering, computing or psychology backgrounds.
