My most valuable book,
By Peter J Kerz (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Pardon the cliche but if you're only going to buy one 'hand' book (it's more like a phone book), this is the one you should get. It covers conventional physical ergonomics, as well as every other significant genre in the field.When I'm stuck for a quality resource, I find what I need here. Ouch! I'm still paying for it though.
