The broad and developing scope of ergonomics - the application of
scientific knowledge to improve peoples' interaction with products,
systems and environments - has been illustrated over the past
fifteen years by the books that make up the Contemporary Ergonomics
series. Presenting the proceedings of the Ergonomics Society's
annual conference, the series embraces the wide range of topics.
Individual papers provide insight into current practice, present
new research findings and form an invaluable reference source. The
volumes provide a fast track for the publication of suitable papers
from international contributors. These are chosen on the basis of
abstracts submitted to a selection panel in the autumn prior to the
Ergonomics Society's annual conference held in the spring. A wide
range of topics are covered in these proceedings, including: manual
handling; the rail industry; virtual reality; display screen
equipment; musculoskeletal disorders; air traffic control; slips,
trips, and falls; warnings; motorcycle ergonomics; interface
design; the development of ergonomics; workplace design;
physiology, HCI, design; methodology; hospital ergonomics; drivers
and driving; team working; work design; and general ergonomics.As
well as being of interest to mainstream ergonomists and human
factors specialists, Contemporary Ergonomics will appeal to all
those who are concerned with people's interactions with their
working and leisure environment including designers, manufacturing
and production engineers, health and safety specialists,
occupational, applied and industrial psychologists, and applied
physiologists.
