Human factors research impacts everything from the height of
kitchen counters to the placement of automobile pedals to a book''s
type size. And in this updated and expanded version of the original
landmark work, you''ll find the research information necessary to
create designs that better accommodate human need. Featuring more
than 200 anthropometric drawings, this handbook is filled with all
of the essential measurements of the human body and its
relationship to the designed environment. You''ll also discover
guidelines for designing for children and the elderly, for the
digital workplace, and for ADA compliance. Measurements are in both
English and metric units.
