5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent.,
By Santiago Acosta-Maya (Colombia, South America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bodyspace: Anthropometry, Ergonomics and the Design of the Work, Second Edition (Paperback)
If you are a professional Product Designer, an Engineer or an Architect this book will be a very good source of Anthropometric data. It is recommended by leading ergonomics authors and widely used in Universities and research institutes. The problem with Anthropometric data is not finding it but how to use it, this books bridges the gap that exists between theory and practice. It is an excellent book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A trusted resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bodyspace: Anthropometry, Ergonomics and the Design of the Work, Second Edition (Paperback)
One of the best handbooks for ergonomic guidelines and anthropometric data. A thoughtful and well researched volume that I have used repeatedly in my industrial design career. Pheasant has created a compendium of data that designers can trust. The anthropometric data compiled for different populations is both relevant to today's multinational product markets and responsible in that aggregation of individual studies into a world-wide population anthropometry database is inherently inaccurate.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bodyspace: Anthropometry, Ergonomics and the Design of the Work, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book is quiet information in regards to being specific about the parts of the body that they are refering to, for human factors sake. However, it completely excludes human scale and the dimensions ranging from infant to the adult male. There are no illustrations at all for easy reference and if you don't mind converting, everything is metric(it was published in Britian).
