More About Ashgate's Human Factors List
Ashgate’s Human Factors list is renowned within the field for
its extraordinary range and depth of quality. Since publishing the
seminal Human
Factors in Flight by Frank Hawkins in 1987, our list of authors
has read almost as a ‘who’s who’ of this exciting and extremely
significant field of research. Please browse our range online or
download the latest catalog
to see what we have to offer. To make sure you are fully up to date
with our new publications, you can sign up
to receive email updates which will alert you to new human
factors titles as they are published.
The science of human factors (HF) has expanded far beyond its
origins in aviation and we are now regularly publishing research
monographs and contributed volumes reporting on work carried out
specifically within other safety-critical domains. Ground
transportation is one such area, and to address the need for
dedicated specialist publications here we have the series Human Factors in Road and Rail Transport.
Similarly, the Human Factors in Defence
series publishes works directly relevant to military environments
and applications. Naturally there will always be great HF activity
within aviation and for this purpose we have the series Ashgate Studies in Human Factors for Flight
Operations. Also, the Ashgate Studies in
Resilience Engineering series charts the evolution of this
significant movement in safety systems thinking and its application
to all domains. All series feature an editorial board of the
highest calibre and within each you will find fascinating works at
the very forefront of HF research and applied psychology.
In addition to the series mentioned above, we will continue to
expand the range of publications and offer works on HF research
carried out within, or applicable to, all high-consequence
industries, such as healthcare, drilling/mining, nuclear power,
shipping and heavy industry. New book proposals specific to such
areas are particularly welcome. If you have an idea for a new book
that you would like to discuss with us, please contact the
Publisher, Guy Loft.
