UsabilityEvaluation forIn-VehicleSystemsCatherine Harvey andNeville A. StantonUniversity of Southampton, UK

“… is a must read for students, practitioners, andmost importantly designers who bombard vulnera-ble users with what technology can offer rather thanwhat it should offer in the context of use and humanvariability."

—Professor Brian Peacock, PhD, National University of Singapore and SIM University

"… nicely complements the existing literature, con-sidering driver interfaces from a non-traditionalhuman-computer interaction perspective. It givesdue attention to activities in Europe of which non-Europeans may be unaware. It also providesbalanced coverage of both evaluation and compu-tational methods. I give it 10 thumbs up (for thosethat are all thumbs)."—Professor Paul Green, PhD, University of Michigan,

USA

Changing theWorkplaceSafety CultureRon C. McKinnonMcKinnon & Associates, WesternCape, South Africa

The only way to ensure that accidents and their consequences are tackled at the source is to identifyand eliminate the workplace risks before, rather thanafter the event. The ongoing identification of work-place and worker risk must become a value to anorganization and must occur automatically, as part ofthe culture of the organization if accidental losses areto be eliminated. This book shows that an organiza-tion's safety culture is the driving force behind suc-cessful safety management systems that constantlyidentify and reduce risk thus eliminating accidentswhich lead to injuries, property damage or environ-mental disasters.

Rail HumanFactors aroundthe WorldImpacts on and ofPeople for SuccessfulRail OperationsEdited by

John R Wilson, AnnMills, Theresa Clarke,Jane Rajan, andNastaran DadashiThe book represents the best of recent work in railhuman factors, and starts to define the framework forthe next few years. As well as the human factors areaslisted above, the conference and thus the book arenotable for sessions on simulation in rail human fac-tors and on human factors in metro design and oper-ation. The book also reflects the increased attentionbeing paid to, and developments in, understandingall aspects of rail stakeholders’ behaviour, and also thecontribution of ergonomics/human factors to innova-tive network control systems which will enhance reli-ability, safety and use of capacity.

BehavioralResearch andAnalysisAn Introduction toStatistics within theContext ofExperimental Design,Fourth EditionMax VercruyssenHawaii Academy, Honolulu, USA

Hal W. HendrickCastle Pines Village, Colorado, USA

Now in its fourth edition, Behavioral Research andAnalysis: An Introduction to Statistics within theContext of Experimental Design presents anoverview of statistical methods within the context ofexperimental design. It covers fundamental topicssuch as data collection, data analysis, interpretation ofresults, and communication of findings.

New in the Fourth Edition:• Extensive improvements based on suggestionsfrom those using this book in the classroom

• Statistical procedures that have been developedand validated since the previous edition

• Each chapter in the body now contains relevantkey words, chapter summaries, key word definitions, and end of chapter exercises (with answers)

• Revisions to include recent changes in the APAStyle Manual

This text focuses on essential information for getting aresearch project completed without prerequisite mathor statistics training. It has been revised many times tohelp readers at various levels of understanding.Illustrating how to plan, prepare, conduct, and ana-lyze an experimental or research report, the bookemphasizes explaining statistical procedures andinterpreting obtained results without discussing thederivation of equations or history of the method.

Selected Contents:

Overview of Scientific Research. Methods ofDescribing Data. Bivariate Descriptive Statistics.Simple Experimental Designs. Simple Analysis ofVariance. Multifactor Analysis of Variance.

Planning, Conducting, and Reporting Research.Appendices: Statistical Tables. Glossary of StatisticalTerms, Equations, and Symbols. Statistical Equations.


ErgonomicsFoundationalPrinciples,Applications, andTechnologiesPamela McCauley BushUniversity of Central Florida,Orlando, USA

A complete introduction to the field, Ergonomics:Foundational Principles, Applications andTechnologies discusses scientific principles, research,applications, and emerging trends in technology.Covering the foundational principles and major topicsin physical ergonomics, the book contains the neces-sary components of a quality ergonomics course,including a sample course syllabus, PowerPoint slidesfor instructors and students, homework assignments,class projects, instructor’s manual, suggested labequipment, proposed lab exercises, and a student laboratory manual.

Based on the author’s decades of teaching experi-ence, the text covers basic ergonomic principles fromresearch and application perspectives. It includeshands-on laboratory activities to complement class-room instruction and cases studies that demonstrateapplication of ergonomic knowledge. Using anapproach that highlights the physical over the cogni-tive, the author focuses less on kinesiology principlesand more on applied kinesiology in ergonomics.

Features:

• Provides a basic explanation of the systems ofthe body to establish a foundation for under-standing and consistently applying ergonomicprinciples

• Covers the human senses and the sensoryprocess for each, including tools and techniquesfor assessing sensory impact

• Explains the functionality, relationship, and elements of the integrated roles of the muscularsystem and nervous system

• Introduces the study of anthropometrics and the principles that can be used to supportanthropometric design, including data collec-tion, calculation of statistics, and identification of appropriate data sources

• Examines the basic ergonomic principles of workplace design and evaluation of hand tools

• Discusses the origin, nature, and impact ofwork-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the global community

• Includes an introduction to ergonomic design ofcontrols and displays

Learning CurvesTheory, Models, andApplicationsEdited by

Mohamad Y. JaberRyerson University, Toronto,Ontario, Canada

“… spot on — a lot of research has been conductedto understand learning in organizations as opposedto merely estimating a function that relates cumula-tive production volume to unit cost. … fills a vacu-um in learning curve research in theory, modellingand applications.”

—Michael A. Lapre, Owen Graduate School ofManagement, Vanderbilt University

Written by international contributors, LearningCurves: Theory, Models, and Applications firstdraws a learning map that shows where learning isinvolved within organizations, then examines how itcan be sustained, perfected, and accelerated. Thebook reviews empirical findings in the literature interms of different sources for learning and partialassessments of the steps that make up the actuallearning process inside the learning curve.

• Reviews recent developments in learning curveresearch, modeling, and applications

• Reviews research on forgetting curves

• Discusses the Earned Value Method in a learning environment

Traditionally, books on learning curves have focusedeither on cost accounting or production planning andcontrol. In these books, the learning curve has beentreated as a forecasting tool. This book synthesizescurrent research and presents a clear picture of organizational learning curves. It explores how organ-izations improve other measures of organizationalperformance including quality, inventory, and productivity, then looks inside the learning curve todetermine the actual processes through which organizations learn.
