Good book for an ergonomics/work design library

Fitting The Task To The ManThis book is highly recommended for anyone that is interested in ergonomics. This book covers many physiological and psychological aspects of work design, as well as environmental considerations, manual materials handling considerations, etc. This book contains many figures and illustrations to assist the reader in ergonomic and work design principles. The book may be a difficult read at times, but it does provide a great deal of useful information.
