Seminal Work on Human Factors

My most valuable book
Pardon the cliche but if you're only going to buy one 'hand' book (it's more like a phone book), this is the one you should get.It covers conventional physical ergonomics, as well as every other significant genre in the field. Ergo Buster
A definate must for the Ergo student! The book has excellent describtive definitions and is an eye opener to the world of work. It focus on a diffirent perspective on the qaulity of worklife. ... Read more

Very helpful guide!
This is a very good book to use to study for the exam!I used this to study for the NBCOT exam and found it very helpful.The questions were similar to those used on the actual exam, and the answer sections were full of valuable information.Not only did you get explanation of the right answer to each question, but the book also gave you information on the other answers as well.There is also a really good mix of types of questions - from intervention, evaluation, to program development and management type questions.Very comprehensive, and I felt it really prepared me for the real exam.

I would HIGHLY recommend this book
This book was an enormous help in my passing the NBCOT test. They explain all the answers, both correct and incorrect. The questions are formatted very closely to what you'll see on the real test and they provide you with the exact reference of where the test answer came from so you can pull out your textbooks and read up on that section in further detail.
Great for Test Prep
This book was wonderful for the Board Exam review.It was full of relevant information, and it gave a rationale for every aspect of right and wrong answers.I highly recommend it! ... Read more

The body does bear the burden
When a thoughtful individual takes the time to summarize 30 years of experience, I view this as a great gift. When his insights allow us to help in treatment, it is a blessing. His major thesis is that trauma, when it produces a chronic stress disorder, can manifest in peculair physical ways. This is the key insight and Dr. Scaer backs his observations with lots of clinical and research data. No doubt some will find this a rigorous read, but it is well worth the effort. I had the opportunity to try this theory. A teacher in a rough part of town ( I live in NYC) witnessed in his class a fight where a student viciously punched a girl in the head, when the teacher interevened, the next blow was to the back of his head sending him into the chalk board and breaking his glasses. He presented 5 days later with classic post concussion syndrome of impaired memory, inablility to read and other congnitve deficits. Before I read Dr. Scaer's book, I would have have not been able to treat him, for, from a medical point of view, it was all the brain banging aroung in his skull that caused this. However, Dr. Scaer made me think that this was instead a PTSD from having witnessed a vicious attack. I treated him with EFT and remarkably two days later he was normal! (This would have usually taken many weeks). We are all searching for ways to treat PTSD, but at least we can now view some mystifying symptoms in a model for which hopefully soon we will be able to fix. Kudos, Dr. Scaer.

Remember That College Textbook You Just Hated?
I started out as a lit major, then switched to linguistics.I worked three years as a medical transcriptionist.I've never had trouble reading anything.But this book is so full of fourteen-letter words, acronyms, and other jargon, it's just plain unpleasant to read.
No stress here
This book, along with WAKING THE TIGER are two of the most useful books I've come across that deal with post traumatic stress disorder.Highly recommended.Would also recommend two works of fiction that deal with this:GOOD GRIEF and THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD. ... Read more

A 'must read' for everyone who deals with backs
Everyone who deals with backs, either in sports (athletes, coaches, trainers), physicians, therapists, and back pain patients themselves, should read this book. I am a physician who specializes in back disorders and back pain. I have followed Dr. McGill's reseach for many years and it has revolutionized my practice like nothing else. One of my top priorities with back pain patients is to review what exercises they have been given in the past.I invariably stop them from doing several excercises that Dr. McGill's research has proven to be quite harmful for the back. I Substitute the 'big three' excercises that are described in this book, and many of the patients need no further intervention. There is a great deal of misinformation regarding back excercise, and many of the excercise routines used in sports, schools, military, and fitness centers are harmful. That is why this book is so important; not because it gives another fitness guru's opinion, but because it gives good, scientifically based facts on one of the tougher clinical issues from a world renown expert. Thank you Dr. McGill - keep the research coming!
A Good Source of Infromation
I refer to this book many times over over the years and has helped clear up that tricky patient that is not getting better as fast as they and you the doctor would like. Great source of information for any doctor regardless of how many years in practice. Also highly recommend a book I found to be execellent source for rehabing my patients is called The Backsmart Fitness Plan by Dr.Adam Weiss. A DC who has written a very good and detail source of exercises that patients suffering from back or neck pain can do and make progress. These books add many useful tips to my practice.

For Every Doctor
This book is full of information that every doctor who sees patients should have in their office. A must have , detail of structure issues and resvoling layout and protocol.Highly recommended. Also recommend The Backsmart Fitness Plan By Dr. AdamWeiss, a book written for pateint care in laymen's term for a complete full body workout. ... Read more

ok, not great
This handbook was pretty good, but I actually found it to be an unnecessary addition to my clinical experience.I certainly wouldn't say it was a "must have" like some of the other handbooks I've used.

Did Not Read, Yet, But I KNOW!!
I purchased the Clinical Handbook for Medical Surgical Nursing, and it was a god-send!Therefore, I know that this book is well worth the purchase.It really narrowed down all that I needed for med-surg, so I know that anything by this company should be obtained by nursing students. ... Read more

Essential information for suffering musicians
Before Repetitive Strain Injuries became well-known to the world through the widespread use of the computer keyboard, musicians were suffering from them. I had persistent tendonitis for several years, and this book was the best resource I ever found--once I did, I knew things my doctor didn't know! Although I am writing this review as a guitarist, this book addresses the overuse injuries that afflict all instrumentalists, singers, and dancers, and even includes a chapter on the "Psychological Aspects of the Development of Exceptional Young Performers and Prodigies."Read more

Lab Ref review
This book is a great aid for the bench. It enables you to quickly find recipes for reagents used often, without the hassle of digging through volumes of more advanced manuals, and also provides tips that may be unavailable in such advanced manuals. It's also handy for the lab amateur, providing information as basic as how to prepare 1M stock solutions, and goes as far as telling you how to aliquot and store reagents when necessary! I highly recommend this book, as I've made good use of it in the short time since I purchased it. ... Read more
