HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING AND ERGONOMICS A SYSTEMS APPROACH 2ED (PB 2014) Paperback

The Second Edition of Human Factors Engineering and Ergonomics: A Systems Approach expands beyond its original focus on the interaction between people and machines (the foundation of ergonomics) to include new areas such as stress research, accident analysis and prevention, the study of system evolution over time (nonlinear dynamical systems), human group behavior, and environmental psychology. Drawing on over thirty years of experience, this updated edition explores a broad range of human factors and ergonomics principles relevant to both traditional and modern technologies and environments. It emphasizes core concepts, a comprehensive "systems thinking" approach, the evolving relationship between people and machines, and how systems adapt and change over time.
