Ergonomics Books

I don't have my book yet!!!

UPS sent back to you the book and now I don't have it

Please, I need to know what is going to happen with my book or my payment. If you will not send the book again to me I need a refund of my money

I still have not recieved the book. Please refund my money.

This book has lots of great tables and charts for any engineer working on ergonomic issues in a plant. If you're looking for design ergonomics, this is the wrong book.

managers are often reticent to go beyond common sense in product design, oftentimes a book like this one can show them the power of smarter decisions when it comes to ergonomic considerations (beyond common sense).
Also, the book enables industrial designers to begin acquire the right tools to communicate design-ergonomic decisions to the remainder of the design-management team.

A very refreshing book on ergonomics applied successfully and from the point of view of this science as a business advantage. No hard core tables of values and anthropometric values, plenty of business cases.

Though the word "sunrooms" is included in the title, there are fewer than five sunrooms featured in this book.

Most of the featured houses would cost $3-5million if purchased in California. The porch on the front cover is illustrative of the porches featured inside. If you can't afford the house that goes with that porch, you won't be able to afford the porches on the interior either.

This complaint is no small matter--the issues that arise in trying to make the most of limited space with a limited budget are different from the issues faced by a multi-millionaire designing a dream house with a dream view.

The self-congratulatory text concludes, "You've seen spectacular examples of porch design and been directed to the details that set them apart. Along the way, you've witnessed what is possible no matter the circumstances, regardless of the size of a house." I disagree.

I'm merely an air traffic control student, but i've had this book assigned by a professor and it's my assesment that it is intended more for the benefit of air traffic management systems engineers than for those looking to gain a basic working knowledge of current systems and how people use them. I suspect that she picked it because of title, and becuase Flight to the Future: Human Factors in Air Traffic Control is apparently out of print. I find it very dry and overly-technical for my needs.

Much, much better than "Cats"

Words can't express how much I loathe this book. I used the book as a text in a graduate school simulation class, and was fairly familiar with the material in advance as a long time simulation professional and instructor pilot. This "book" is really nothing more than a collection of unrelated scholastic articles of dubious value. Most of the articles are extremely old: one of the more up to date articles dealing with the importance of motion in flight simulation cited as prime sources studies conducted by TWA and American Airlines in 1969. To say that such material is dated is kind; to say it is wholly irrelevant is more accurate. (Some studies are a bit more current, but not by much; others are actually based on data collected in the 1930s and 1940s. Really.)

Now a word on quality: the book is junk. To say that it is annoying to buy an expensive book which is very shoddily bound (pages started coming unglued and falling out on the first reading, others in my class had the same problem) is being generous.

There is very little useful material even remotely relevant to modern flight simulation found in this book, and there are certainly better modern texts available on the subject (basically anything not written on papyrus will be more current.) This book is absolutely stultifying, and I still can't believe that any respected university would use this as a text book in 2005.

If you have any choice in the matter whatsoever, do yourself a favor and skip this geriatric piece of tripe.
