Using a direct, down-to-earth style to provide essential knowledge
about ergonomic designs that fit the human body and mind, Fitting
the Human: Introduction to Ergonomics, Sixth Edition follows the
motto of the previous editions: coverage of sound science that is
easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply. This sixth
edition of a seminal textbook remains true to its original goal of
providing quick access to the ergonomic information required to
engineer workplaces, machinery, offices, computers, lighting, and
more to fit the humans who use them. New Organization Makes
Teaching Complex Issues Easier With new data and an updated layout
that helps students grasp the concepts, this book delineates true
human engineering, as opposed to trying to select or train people
to do things with ill-designed equipment. Ergonomics guru Karl
Kroemer organizes detailed knowledge regarding body size, strength,
and mobility, as well as motivation, perceptions, acquired skills,
and work demands including shift work. This sixth edition maintains
the straightforward, lucid presentation of the previous editions,
while updating the material to include coverage of work climate
(both physical and psychosocial), material handling, electronic
keyboards, and offices (at home and at the company) - factors that
continually change the demands on the human not only in equipment
but in the physical and social environments. With additional
figures, graphs, and tables, this text remains the first choice for
teaching the fundamental and most successful ergonomics approach:
make the details and overall work system fit the human.
