206 Automotive Ergonomics edited by Brian Peacock and Waldemar Karwowski. Taylor and Francis, London, 1993.
(ISBN 0 7484 0005 2). Automotive Ergonomics covers aspects of human factors or ergonomics in t h e design of cars and various vehicle functions. The authors are all well respected experts in the area of vehicle ergonomics and have contributed chapters on a wide range of topics t h a t show both the diverse and yet complex field encompassed by vehicle ergonomics. The book is probably intended for ergonomists or designers and industrial engineers involved specifically in t h e area and even possibly student ergonomists rather t h a n physiotherapists.
I t provides a comprehensive and detailed review of previous research and recent developments in technology and social changes. The book is well-organised into various chapters presenting t h e latest developments in car design and evaluation. Skin nuba. The chapters cover areas such as human capabilities and their incorporation into car design through biomechanics, anthropometry, modelling, and CAD systems; physical car design including occupant protection, seat design, pedals and unintended acceleration, and luggage loading; information design and the role of symbols, in-car controls, warnings and lighting systems; driver workload including visual, mental and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Clinical science and practice edited by Kathryn Refshauge and Elizabeth Gass. Butterworth Heinemann, Oxford, 1995 (ISBN 0 7506 1746 2). This is a n excellent book which I highly recommend to anyone who is serious about manipulative therapy. The main focus is t h e theoretical basis of musculoskeletal physiotherapy with particular emphasis on the spine.
While most texts in this field describe techniques, this book concentrates on the scientific knowledge underlying clinical practice. The book is divided into nine sections: the context and development of musculoskeletal physio- Physiotherapy, March 1996, vol 82, no 3 1 Upper beam 2Lower beam 3Turn signals 7 Windshield 8 Ventilating fan wiper and washer I 11 Rear hood 1 5 Windshield 6 Windshield 9 Parkina' 10 Front hood 'I 13 Horn 14 Fuel 'I lights u - 12 Choke I 4 Hazard warning wiper washer 1 Symbols in I S 0 Standard 2575. Diagram from 'Automotive Ergonomics' navigational, and finally older drivers, their difficulties and possible ways to enhance their performance and that of all drivers. I t is somewhat disappointing in such a publication to see no mention of disabled drivers. One would hope t h a t more research into this area is being undertaken than is presented here.
There a r e adequate diagrams and tables where necessary and each chapter has an extensive and detailed reference list. The book as a whole provides a n excellent coverage of the problems facing vehicle designers and the ergonomic methods and evaluation stages involved in vehicle design. Automotive Ergonomics is a useful textbook for anyone involved in vehicle design or a s a library book for ergonomics students, both undergraduate and graduate.
