task are common occurrences in industry and produce a massive annual loss of working time in addition to the discomfort and misery caused to the individual. Many are concerned in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these injuries, from occupational physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, and physiologists to ergonomists, designers, engineers, and physicists. Occupational Biomechanics has something for all of these disciplines and the authors are to be congratulated on producing such an excellent overview of the subject. For those, such as myself, who are only partially mathematically literate, some of the chapters are hard work but persistence is rewarded and strongly recommended. Students will profit from this book, although they should note the caveat below, and there are a useful set of review questions to aid the process of learning. A potential criticism concerns coordinate reference frames; these are introduced at several places in the book, are generally difficult to interpret, and, with the exception of the chapter on vibration, are at variance with the ISO recommendations. This can lead only to confusion. Libraries supporting a department concerned with biomechanics should buy this book.
