Description

Man is the best thing in the World. Nature does nothing uselessly. Aristotle There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

John Burroughs The basic purpose of development is to enlarge people’s choices.

The objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives.

Mahbub ul Hag Founder of the Human Development Report Theaimofthisbookis toprovidea compiledset ofconcepts,principles,methods and issues used for studying, designing and operating human-minding and natu- minding automation and industrial systems.

The depth of presentation is suf?cient for the reader to understand the problems involved and the solution approaches, and appreciate the need of human–automation cooperative interaction, and the - portance of the efforts required for environment and ecosystem protection during any technological and development process in the society.

Humans and technology are living and have to live together in a sustainable society and nature.

Humans must not be viewed as components of automation and technology in the same way as machines.

Automation and technology must incorporate the humans’ needs and preferences, and radiate “beauty” in all ways, namely functionally, technically and humanistically.

In overall, automation and technology should create comfort and give pleasure.
