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.
