This book is a compilation of many topics in the field of agricultural ergonomics. The book is in five parts. The first part covers anthropometry, anthropometric data, and the use of these data in the design of machine and workplace. The second part covers anthropometric and strength parameter survey of agricultural workers in India and the basic measurement techniques of anthropometric data. The third part contains the measurement details of different anthropometric data on 79 body dimensions of 12,525 agricultural workers (8,025 male and 4,500 female) from 12 states in India. The fourth part of the book deals with 16 strength parameters of 5,937 agricultural workers (3,423 male and 2,514 female) from 6 states in India. Sample size of the data for different states was determined statistically based on their population. All the data were analysed for their mean, standard deviation, range, 5th and 95th percentile values. The fifth and last part of the book contains the practical application of anthropometric and strength data in farm equipment design for Indian agricultural workers. It is an excellent basic guide for use of anthropometric and strength data in design. The book contains useful data source on Indian agricultural workers, which were scarce to obtain. However, the number of publications are available for selected data from different states, national level database on anthropometric and strength variables of Indian agricultural worker in this book is the first of its kind in the country, and can be used as Indian data on anthropometric and strength parameters. Anthropometric database on the Indian Army population (sex: male only, sample size: 11,458, age: 20–40 yrs) was developed by Defence Research and Development Organization, Government of India. Presently it is being used only by the Indian Defence Department for its own requirements. Chakrabarti compiled anthropometric data (sex: male and female, sample size: 961, age: 20 yrs onwards) from different states of India in a book which is popularly being used all over India as ready reference for product and workstation design. USA and other European countries are already using anthropometric data of user’s population in the design of agricultural equipments. Prior to publication of this book, due to lack of data in India, it was not possible to go for such ergonomic design. Now farm equipment design engineers can take advantage of the data book in designing equipment considering anthropometric data. Each chapter of the book depicts clear and substantial information to the readers. However, there are a few minor flaws in the book. Age limits (i.e. upper and lower) of the subjects/volunteers have not been mentioned. Since age is crucially regarded as the most important factor for variability of anthropometric and muscular strength dimensions, mentioning of age range is of prime importance and it should not have been ignored. All the four coordinated centres of Ergonomics and Safety in Agriculture (ESA) and eight ad-hoc schemes through which data were collected should have been placed in under Reference, as they are of prime importance. Moreover, it would have been better to compare these data with other countries which were used earlier in India for design of various farm machineries and equipment. In spite of the aforementioned shortcomings, this book meets the important need for anthropometric and strength data of Indian agricultural workers. Traditionally, little attention has been paid to the efficiency, comfort and safety of the operators, but designers are now developing an ergonomic consciousness and if the anthropometric data and strength parameters are available, they could use them in the design process. A detailed anthropometric survey of the Indian agricultural workers of the remaining Indian states is also necessary. The editors of the book have developed a systematic and scientific way for collection of these data and circulated them to each survey site to avoid improper measurement of data. The book provides adequate information that would satisfy the basic needs of designers, engineers and academicians. Such a book deserves a place not on the bookshelf, but open on the desk.
