A Healthy Approach to Safe Computing

Berkeley, CA--So many things in our lives today cause stress that sometimes
just thinking about them sends our stress level soaring. Take, for
example, the fact that 10 million computer users each year are treated for
computer-related health ailments. This thought alone is enough to cause
computer users to tense up even more. That's why the author of 25 Steps to
Safe Computing has taken a calm and reasoned approach to the health issues
involved in computer use. He maintains that armed with the proper
tools--this book and a positive attitude--readers can make their desktop
environments much safer places.

25 Steps to Safe Computing actually contains many more than 25 steps,
because each step (relieving eyestrain, adjusting monitors, getting a good
chair, staying fit, for example) includes plenty of advice and tips. Each
section generally includes a bulleted list of symptoms, another list
detailing repercussions from not dealing with the situation properly,
followed by practical, workable suggestions on how to overcome or prevent
the problems. For readers who want more information, there's a resource
list at the end of each step, plus a resource section at the back of the
book that covers books and pamphlets, Occupational Safety and Health
agencies, and other organizations. 25 Steps to Safe Computing distills and
updates Zap! How your computer can hurt you--and what you can do about it
(by the same author) and was written for readers who wanted a simpler,
easy-to scan version.

Author Don Sellers also has written The Little QuicKeys Book with co-author
Steve Roth.
