Sheridan, Ford Professor Emeritus of Engineering and Applied Psychology, </i><i>MassachusettsInstitute of Technology</i><br />The fifth edition of the <i><b>Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics</b></i> is the most authoritative and comprehensive reference work in the field.<br /><br /><i>Review of the fourth edition and comment on the fifth edition by</i> Donald A. Norman, Director and Co-Founder, University of California, San Diego Design Lab.<br />I'm often asked for reading suggestions, especially for references to the literature on Human Factors and Ergonomics. In the past few months, I have been reading chapters of one book that has it all: Gavriel Salvendy's massive tome, the <i><b>Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics</b></i>. The articles are all excellent. They all reflect up-to-date reviews of the areas they cover. They are wonderful self-study material, wonderful references, and would make excellent material in multiple courses. Consider it as essential piece of professional equipment. <br />If you don't know human factors, this is a great way to find the parts relevant to your work. And even if you are an expert, this book will be valuable because it is unlikely that you are expert at all the topics covered here, yet very likely you will need some of the ones you are not (yet) expert at. <br />I follow my own advice. I consider myself an expert (I am a Fellow of the Human Factors Society), but I still learn each time I read from these pages. <br />The 5th edition has new - and very important - chapters written by the authorities in each topic. It has kept up with the times and become even more valuable as both a text and a reference.<br /><br /><i>From the Foreword to the second edition by John F. Smith, Jr., Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and</i><br /><i>President, General Motors Corporation</i><br />The publication of this second <i><b>Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics</b></i> is very timely. It is a comprehensive guide that contains practical knowledge and technical background on virtually all aspects of physical, cognitive, and social ergonomics. As such, it can be a valuable source of information for any individual or organization committed to providing competitive, high-quality products and safe, productive work environments.<br /><br /><i>From the Foreword to the first edition by E. M. Estes, Retired President, General Motors Corporation</i><br />Regardless of what phase of the economy a person is involved in, this handbook is a very useful tool. Every area of human factors from environmental conditions and motivation to the use of new communications systems, robotics, and business systems is well covered in the handbook by experts in every field.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Gavriel Salvendy, PhD, </b> is University Distinguished Professor at the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida, Founding President of the Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine of Florida, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
