The Measure of Man and Woman: Human Factors in Design

The book provides extensive anthropometric and human-factors information intended to support products, workplaces and environments fitted to human bodies. Its relevance to EDI lies in recognising bodily variation rather than designing around a single nominal user. At the same time, the source should be used critically: historical anthropometric datasets can encode limited population samples and normative assumptions. It is valuable as a methodological precedent when paired with contemporary approaches to diversity and inclusion.
