The Classic Handbook of Human Factors And Ergonomics
The Classic Handbook of Human Factors And Ergonomics, Salvendy, G. and Karwowski, W. (Eds.), 2021, Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics, 5th ed., has just been published and is being translated and published in Chinese by Tsinghua Press in China and into Arabic by the Obeikan Publishing in Saudi Arabia.
The Forward to the Handbook written by HFES Fellow Donald A. Norman. In he shares:
"If you don’t know human factors, this is a great way to find the parts relevant to your work. And even if you are an expert, this book will be valuable because it is unlikely that you are expert at all the topics covered here, yet very likely you will need some of the ones you are not (yet) expert at. I follow my own advice. I consider myself an expert (I am a Fellow of the Human Factors Society), but I still learn each time I read from these pages. So, yes, grit your teeth and buy the book."
