5.0 out of 5 stars "Applied" is the important word, October 10, 2003
By 
This review is from: Applied Ergonomics Handbook (Hardcover)
This book helps you become a competent practicing ergonomist in a real setting, not an ergonomics theorist, researcher, or teacher (well, maybe a teacher). The author clearly has a lot of real world experience in the job of corporate ergonomist, and has worked at creating detailed but not overwhelming processes, procedures, and content matter. This is an unassuming little grey book but it was the most helpful book I ever used when learning to "do" ergonomics. Base your approach to your work on it, and gradually add detail on the tools and circumstances of the industry you're working in.
