Opis

To mark the 25th anniversary of Contemporary Ergonomics the current and past editors have selected 4 papers from each of the years that they were in charge. This collection does not represent the best papers, but rather a collection that showcases the breadth of research topics covered by the Contemporary Ergonomics series of books and to illustrate the change of focus in ergonomics research over the years.

The book also contains background information relating to the annual conference of the Ergonomics Society for each year, including dates, venues and personnel. The editors give some insight into the way the format of the conference has had to change to enable the diversity of topics submitted by the ergonomics research community to be presented effectively.
