Ergonomics often seems to be involved too late in commercial
project development processes to have substantive impact on design
and usability. However, in the automotive industry, and
specifically in relation to In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS),
a lack of attention to usability can not only lead to poor customer
satisfaction, it can also present a significant risk to safe and
efficient driving. Usability Evaluation for In-Vehicle Systems
describes how to apply a range of usability evaluation methods for
IVIS. The authors explore the driving context and the range of
driver-IVIS interactions, using case studies that show how
Ergonomics methods can add considerable value throughout the
product development process. They emphasize practical approaches
that can be used to predict and analyze driver behavior with IVIS.
The authors also present validation evidence for the methods
covered. The book has three key objectives: Define and understand
usability in the context of IVIS. This guides the specification of
criteria against which usability can be successfully evaluated.
Develop a multi-method framework to support designers in the
evaluation of IVIS usability. The underlying motivations for the
framework are a need for early-stage evaluation to support
proactive redesign and a practical and realistic approach which can
be used successfully by automotive manufacturers. Develop an
analytic usability evaluation method which enables useful
predictions of task interaction, whilst accounting for the specific
context-of-use of IVIS. The major challenge of this particular
context-of-use is the dual-task environment created by interacting
with secondary tasks via an IVIS at the same time as driving.
Written for students, researchers, designers, and engineers, the
book is not only a guide to the practical application of evaluation
methods, it also presents important th
Packed with illustrations and practical examples, Guide to
Methodology in Ergonomics: Designing for Human Use, Second Edition
provides a concise introduction to ergonomics methods in a
straightforward manner that helps you conduct an ergonomics
analysis of a product in development. It details the execution of
12 ergonomics methods that can be applied to the design of any type
of product or interface. The authors stress the role of ergonomics
in reducing device interaction time and user error while improving
user satisfaction and device usability. See What's in the New

that reflect current technology Information on Critical Path
Analysis (CPA) The authors highlight where ergonomics methods fit
in the design process and how to select a method appropriate for
your purpose. They describe each method, supplying an overview,
instructions on how to carry out an analysis, a mini bibliography,
pros and cons, one or more examples, and a flow chart. They then
rate each method for reliability/validity, resources, usability,
and efficacy. The book then examines data from studies on training,
reliability, and validity, and presents an equation that enables
you to calculate approximately the financial benefits of using each
method. Based on research and expertise, the book gives you the
freedom to be adventurous when choosing methods and the foundation
to choose the method that fits the task at hand. Written by
experts, it also helps you hone your skills and put the craft of
ergonomics into practice.

Phil has reached a crisis point in his life. Deep in debt, with a
nasty cold, he spends his lunchtimes feeding the ducks, while his
plant-mad wife spends her money in the Pound Shop. But everything
changes when Phil meets a strange girl in the park who offers him
the chance of excitement - and much needed cash. Her Nan doesnt
trust banks, she tells him. She could lend him the money and no one
need ever know anything was wrong. How far would you go if you were
disillusioned and in debt? Phil, a modern day Faustus, succumbs to
temptation in this dark comedy for the Recession. Infinite Riches
received its debut in May 2012 at the Old Red Lion Theatre, London.

Late summer 1916. With an overwhelming number of casualties coming
back from the Front, Morden Hall has been transformed into an
auxiliary hospital for injured soldiers. All over the country women
are eager to support the war effort and offer their services as
V.A.D. Nurses. But when the daughter of an eminent MP whos pushing
a controversial bill arrives, Matron Enid Woods makes it clear
Elizabeth Ewing Chapple isnt welcome. Fields Unsown uncovers the
secret history of Morden Hall Park, exploring the legacy of the
First World War, acknowledging its impact on colonialism and
honouring Gilliat Edward Hatfeilds wish that the grounds be enjoyed
by the local community now and for many years to come.
Interventions and educational approaches for children with autism
spectrum disorders have developed in response to the different
models for how autism has been constructed and understood. This
book explores the evolving theories on autism and how these have
impacted the interventions and outcomes in education. Drawing on 30
years of professional experience and detailed research, Harvey
exposes the myths around autism, advocates for understanding autism
as difference rather than impairment, and provides practical
guidance on teaching and learning, behaviour management, addressing
sensory and physical needs of children with ASD. This accessible
overview shows how to put autism research into practice, learn from
historic mistakes and create the most supportive environment for
children on the autism spectrum.
