Human Factors in Simple and Complex Systems Summary

Human Factors in Simple and Complex Systems by Robert W. Proctor (Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA)

Recently, there have been a number of advances in technology, including in mobile devices, globalization of companies, display technologies and healthcare, all of which require significant input and evaluation from human factors specialists. Accordingly, this textbook has been completely updated, with some chapters folded into other chapters and new chapters added where needed. The text continues to fill the need for a textbook that bridges the gap between the conceptual and empirical foundations of the field.

Human Factors in Simple and Complex Systems Reviews

The book materials have been updated to take the technological changes over the last decade into account for more clearly and comprehensively explaining the foundation of human factors and ergonomics in simple and complex systems. As such, this book provides students with more temporal examples of the applications and issues of human factors in the design, implementation, and evaluation of products and systems. The authors' aim of providing a foundation in the principles of human performance and a broad overview of the field of human factors for advanced undergraduate and graduate students is successfully reached.
-Alan Chang, City University of Hong Kong

Proctor and Van Zandt are polymaths who've written a rigorous and practical introduction to human factors. Early chapters survey the field's history and systems of thought. Later chapters cover the principles of cognitive, physical, and organizational ergonomics, and the real-world practice of human factors engineering. The book's multidisciplinary attitude means that students from any academic background will find something novel and stimulating in the material, and that all will take away a thorough knowledge of human factors and ergonomics.
- Jason McCarley, Oregon State University, USA

This book is very comprehensive, and it is a great resource for human factors practitioners. I applaud Proctor and VanZandt for revising this new edition as it addresses how new technologies have affected the way we work and the ways in which technology both affects us and the type of work being conducted.
