SUBSERIE BLANCA. LA GATA MISHA + Primeros lectores

This book delivers an authoritative and practical account of methods that incorporate human capabilities and limitations, environmental factors, human-machine interaction, and other factors into system design. It describes 83 methods in a standardized format, promoting the use of methods that may have formerly been unfamiliar to designers. Each of the six sections covers a specialized field of ergonomics with a representative selection of associated methods. The sections highlight facets of human factors and ergonomics in systems analysis, design, and evaluation. Standard descriptions of methods encourage browsing through several potential methods before tackling a problem.

Convivir con el autismo está dirigido a los familiares y amigos de personas autistas, así como a los profesionales que trabajan con ellas. Basándose en su experiencia personal, Stanton nos ofrece una sincera descripción de lo que realmente significa convivir con el autismo para todas las personas implicadas. Este libro constituye una inestimable fuente de información y consejos para los profesionales que trabajan con estos niños y proporciona ánimo y apoyo a las familias de niños autistas. El resultado es una lectura amena y gratificante que une los conocimientos de Stanton acerca del autismo con su experiencia profesional. Sus ideas son estimulantes, el estilo accesible, e incluso el humor es a la vez gratificante y desdramatizador. Lectura obligada, pues, tanto para los padres como para cualquier persona interesada en el autismo.

The evaluation and assessment of appropriate design approaches for usable human-machine interfaces is at the heart of ergonomics. A Guide to Methodology in Ergonomics arises from work, carried out by Neville Stanton for the EPSRC/Department of Transport, to compile and review a pool of methodologies currently used throughout the human factors world. The book descibes this range of methodologies, and provides evidence of "real-world" validity and reliability. The costs and benefits for each are assessed, as are the usability and applicability. "A Guide to Methodology in Ergonomics" will be an invaluable resource for professional ergonomists, students at masters and post-graduate levels, and industry and business professionals undertaking in-house ergonomic evaluations.

¿La verdad del evangelio?
No cabe confirmar la verdad del evangelio con testimonios históricos, pero depende de la veracidad del conjunto de los retratos de Jesús que ofrecen los evangelistas. Por esta razón, los testimonios históricos estudiados en este libro tendrán un interés permanente para los cristianos. No tenemos en los evangelios actas históricas precisas: tenemos cuatro retratos diferentes e Jesús, escritos por evangelistas que estaban preocupados por proclamar la significación de Jesús a través de la presentación de su historia personal.

El contacto con España -la tierra, las gentes, la cultura- fue central en la vida y la obra de Ernest Hemingway. En nuestro país encontró muchas cosas secretas: el sol, la sangre, el sexo, la nada, el duende...Utilizando los archivos de la colección Hemingway y numerosas entrevistas personales, Edward Stanton documenta sólidamente y narra con amenidad esta historia de un escritor, enamorado como muy pocos de una España profunda y vital.Edward F. Stanton es Catedrático de Literatura Española y Comparada en la Universidad de Kentucky, miembro fundador de la Hemingway Society y enamorado de la cultura española, como el escritor del que es uno de los grandes especialistas.

The design of consumer products has a central role in its potential for contributing to a healthier living and working space. However, too often consumers are only aware of the designers' role when bad practice manifestly exacerbates the easy application of basic functionality. This important book places human factors perspective firmly at the centre of good practice in consumer product design, encouraging rigorous human factors evaluation and methodology as an essential component of the design process. The book's central theme is to introduce human factors techniques to consumer product design and the efficacy of the approach is illustrated with several case studies from a diverse variety of products. Products addressed range from scissors to strimers, from pens to power tools, from kettles to cookers, from radio-cassettes to rucksacks, adn from razors to VCRs. Techniques brought to bear on the devices include: checklists, hierarchical task analysis, observations, interviews, error prediction, questionnaires, guidelines, focus groups, simulations and user trials. Key Features: * Foreword by Sean Blair of the Design Council * Valuable resource for professionals, academics and students in both human factors engineering and design * Fosters an approach which integrates the skills of both professions in a successful approach to consumer product design * Includes plenty of examples throughout the book
