Reviews
The book overcomes the traditional separation between cognition, behavior, and motivation using a systemic approach to the analysis of human work activity. The new approach enables a more user-friendly design of tasks in HCI and ergonomic design of complex human machine systems such as operation of automatic or semiautomatic systems. The authors did an outstanding job. Helmut Strasser, Ergonomics Division Siegen University/Germany presents a new systemic view based on activity theory to a very challenging multi-dimensional field. The theory presented in the book is put into practice and can be used also by practitioners in different fields. Jussi Kantola Professor, University of Vaasa, Finland
