Overview
The broad and developing scope of ergonomics - the application of scientific knowledge to improve peoples' interaction with products, systems and environments - has been illustrated over the past two decades by the books which make up the Contemporary Ergonomics series. Presenting the proceedings of the Ergonomics Society's annual conference, the series embraces the wide range of topics covered by ergonomics. Individual papers provide insight into current practice, present new research findings and form an invaluable reference source. The volumes provide a fast track for the publication of suitable papers from international contributors. These are chosen on the basis of abstracts submitted to a selection panel in the autumn prior to the Ergonomics Society's annual conference held in the spring. As well as being of interest to mainstream ergonomists and human factors specialists, Contemporary Ergonomics will appeal to all those who are concerned with people's interactions with their working and leisure environment - including designers, manufacturing and production engineers, health and safety specialists, occupational, applied and industrial psychologists, and applied physiologists.

Reviews
...clearly and excellently cross the wide spectrum of topics and interest that is ergonomics today. The depth and diversity of papers within some areas, such as understanding the science and prevention of slips and falls, or what is 'designing for inclusion', go well beyond a general conference and approach some of the more specialized topical conferences. ...Contemporary Ergonomics is a worthy edition to the ergonomics reference library and to reference shelves in libraries and research centres. -Stephen J. Morrissey, Ergonomics, Vol. 49, No. 7, June 2006
