This book describes the capabilities and limitations of the human operatorboth physical and mentaland how these should be used to guide the design of systems with which people interact. General principles of humansystem interaction and design are presented, and included are specific examples of successful and unsuccessful interactions. It links theories of human performance that underlie the principles with realworld experience, without a heavy engineeringoriented perspective. Topics include design and evaluation methods; different systems such as visual, auditory, tactile, vestibular, automated, and transportation; cognition, decisionmaking, and aesthetics; physiology; and stress, safety, accidents, and human error. An excellent reference for personnel and managers in the workplace.
