Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Modern employment has undergone a major transformation with the widespread use of computers, digital communication, automation and information technology. A large proportion of contemporary occupations now require employees to remain seated for extended periods. Office workers, teachers, researchers, programmers, accountants, designers, customer-service professionals, administrative staff and many other employees may spend several hours each day sitting at a desk. Although sitting is a natural and necessary posture for rest and focused work, prolonged and uninterrupted sitting has increasingly become a concern for occupational health and overall well-being.
