4.0 out of 5 stars
Very comprehensive and useful, though verbose!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Occupational Ergonomics (Occupational Safety and Health) (Hardcover)
This book covers a lot of material and has presented as many diverse topics as possible in the field of biomechanics and ergonomics.The contributing authors are from reputed organizations and it shows in the good coverage of the material, with up to date references. However, some of the chapters were too disconnected and the book can be reduced in volume by 10% by eliminating excess information.
