Bringing together human factors information from this and other domains, \u003cstrong\u003eHuman Factors in the Maritime Domain\u003c\/strong\u003e integrates a common body of knowledge into one single volume. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book provides the vital background information necessary to acquire a core knowledge base and a much-needed overview of human factors within the maritime domain. It starts by putting the topic into an historical and theoretical context, moves onto more specific and detailed topics and contemporary thinking in human factors, then reviews new maritime technology. The authors take a holistic approach based on a model of the socio-technical system of work in the maritime domain. They synthesize available knowledge and research, then present in an easily acceptable framework with example, illustrations, and case studies whenever possible, making the text rigorous, useful, and enjoyable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three authors draw on a range of diverse backgrounds including working as a maritime surveyor, transport consultant, human factors lecturer, and mechanical engineer. They have undertaken maritime research in Denmark, Australia, Malta, and the UK. They have published several other human factor books on related topics. This combination of human factors knowledge, maritime wisdom, and substantial publication experience results in a book that is effective and practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Grech,Tim Horberry,Thomas Koester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420043412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420043419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.53h x 6.29w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 335","brand":"Michelle Grech","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088195334399,"sku":"9781420043419","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48358d14-403a-45c4-b131-9c4092cd38c7.jpg?v=1769103585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-factors-in-the-maritime-michelle-grech-9781420043419","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
