Shipman's ergonomics books and links

I'm not a professional ergonomist; these are just some very basic references on the subject. Books:

• Norman, Donald A. The design of everyday things. Currency/Doubleday, 1990, ISBN 0385267746. The best single book on design I've seen.
• Borenstein, Nathaniel S. Programming As If People Mattered. Princeton, ISBN 0691037639. Some terrific bad examples of user interface design, and a few good ones.

General ergonomics links:

• Ville's Ergonomy Recommendations by Ville Walveranta
• Computer Related Repetitive Strain Injury by Paul Marxhausen
