Title: The Measure of Man and Woman: Human Factors in Design by Alvin R. Tilley ISBN: 0-471-09955-4 Publisher: Wiley Pub. Date: 14 December, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $65.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Very useful, but use with care
Comment: This is the easiest to use and probably most comprehensive book of human measurement, in my opinion. The data provided in this book is of extreme value to anybody designing anything that physically interacts with human bodies. This is the only complete source of anthropometric data, that I know of, for children of virtually every age range.
However, some of the extrapolated data in the book is impractical for real use. For example, children's furniture dimensions recommended by this book are generally too small as they appear to be based upon exact proportions of adult recommendations. This is inappropriate because children's bodies and minds are not exact scale models of adult bodies.
Overall, though, I still recommend this book highly, but also recommend very careful use of it.

Summary: Ergonomic design
Comment: Rich in visual and graphical material, calculations, diagrams and in-scale drawings of various humans (both sexes), in varous situations... Interesting and important reference tool for the industrial designer. (one of the very few available on the market today)
