The Measure of man and woman : human factors in design
"In most design assignments, all ages, all sizes, all conditions of men and women must be taken into account. The essential anthropometric resource for today, The Measure of Man and Woman is both an invaluable and a fascinating work. The data presented through these striking images and through the accompanying text and tabular material consist of newly collected measurements (in the English and metric systems) including those for children, teenagers, adult men and women, and the elderly, ranging from the 1 to the 99.5 percentiles. This comprehensive reference also provides rates of growth and ranges of movement for the waist, neck, limbs, and so on. Data pertaining to safety considerations in the design of objects and spaces constitute a significant part of the storehouse of information. Environmental factors such as lighting, noise, temperature, color, and even radiation are analyzed in detail. And, of course, The Measure of Man and Woman will answer the questions of anyone engaged in designing corridors, ramps, bathroom facilities, and office work stations in conformity with the Americans with Disabilities Act."--book jacket
