Focusing on the evolution of human factors/ergonomics (HFE), the book aims to establish a formal conceptual framework for the discipline, which has historically developed in an ad-hoc manner. It highlights HFE's unique role in connecting humans with technology, distinguishing it from other behavioral fields like anthropology that lack this link. By situating HFE within the context of technological civilization, the author emphasizes its significance in understanding technology and its impact on society, contributing to the broader cultural history.
