Notes:
The season cover art is adapted from “Try to Accommodate Everyone!”, an image of anthropometric ranges for a wheelchair user and small persons (used under Fair Use) from page 44 of the Humanscale 4/5/6 design guides created by Niels Diffrient, Alvin R. Tilley and David Harman; Henry Dreyfuss Associates, M.I.T. Press (1981)
The Humanscale design books and selector guides were out of print and unavailable for many years. A reissue of the resource kit was funded on Kickstarter in 2018, organised by IA Collaborative (Chicago, IL)
