In the 20 years since the publication of the first edition of Bodyspace, the knowledge base upon which ergonomics
rests has increased significantly. The constant need for an authoritative, contemporary, and above all, usable
reference is therefore great. This third edition maintains the same content and structure as previous editions,
but updates the material and references to reflect recent developments in the field. The book has been substantially
revised to include new research and anthropometric surveys, the latest techniques, and changes in legislation that
have taken place in recent years.
