Engineering Physiology: Bases of Human Factors/ergonomicsVan Nostrand Reinhold, 1997 - 317 עמודים Engineering Physiology, Third Edition, describes the Bases of Human Factors and Ergonomics by providing answers to many questions concerning the size, build, and functioning of the human body at work. This information is presented in clear, concise language, not in the jargon of physiology, biology, or medicine; it does not require background knowledge from the reader, just interest - and it is interesting to read. This practical guide shows how the body monitors itself, how it reacts to workloads and environmental stresses such as heat or cold, humidity, and wind. Each chapter focuses on real-world applications of specific physiological knowledge in the workplace to help assure high performance with minimal effort. The third edition of this successful book provides numerous ideas to human factors engineers, designers, managers, industrial hygienists, safety personnel, plant engineers and supervisors, students, and everybody else interested in ergonomics for "fitting work to the human body". |
