Product Description

Providing guidance on a broad range of issues for young children and adolescents, Ergonomics for Children: Designing Products and Places for Toddlers to Teens give you a deep understanding of how children develop and how these developmental changes can influence the design of products and places for children. Copiously illustrated with photos and other images, the book helps you quickly find answers to your questions, grasp concepts, and apply them.

Its subsections are organized to help you locate and understand the content you need. Edited by experts with contributions from an international panel, the book is both broad in coverage and international in perspective. The contributors review the ways in which children develop physically, perceptually, cognitively, and socially and then use this information to provide practical guidelines for the design of places and products for children.

5.0 out of 5 stars FYI, July 27 2007

By Rani Lueder - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ergonomics for Children: Designing products and places for toddlers to teens (Hardcover)

I edited this book, so I'm not the most objective, but FYI, this is a very large book (984 oversize pages) with over 1,000 photos. It is written as a practitioner's manual, so there are many tables and bullets to find content quickly. Best, Rani

This review is from: Ergonomics for Children: Designing products and places for toddlers to teens (Hardcover)

As a school based occupational therapist this may be the best professional purchase I mke this year. Chapter 20 by Mary Benbow is worth the purchase price alone. Paul

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the topic, Oct 3 2011

By JH - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Ergonomics for Children: Designing products and places for toddlers to teens (Hardcover)

This is quite a remarkable book about designing products and environments for children aged 3 to mid-teens. The scope covers topics from physiology on through a broad range of topics including children and injuries, warnings for children of different ages, the design of schools, playgrounds, farms and even cities and communities. I was astonished at the high caliber content, which was written for the layman as well as the practitioner but lists the information in compact forms - much of the 1,000 pages is in tables, charts and graphics. Really nothing like it. JH.
