Such individuals may find their horizons broadened...the book should benefit students in tertiary and vocational education. It would certainly deepen and widen their understanding of accidents and their causation...the book provides a good impetus for efforts to improve the lot of humankind in their interactions with each other and with equipment.."Murray Sinclair, Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University, Ergonomics Abstracts Details ISBN1560329106 Pages 296 ISBN-10 1560329106 ISBN-13 9781560329107 Format Hardcover DEWEY 620.86 Edition 3rd Illustrations 46 Illustrations, color Language English DOI 10.1604/9781560329107 Author Trevor Kletz Year 2001 Publication Date 2001-07-10 AU Release Date 2001-07-10 NZ Release Date 2001-07-10 US Release Date 2001-07-10 UK Release Date 2001-07-10 Edition Description 3rd edition Audience Undergraduate Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint Taylor & Francis Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
