  There is much to be gained from the study of catastrophes. Likewise the records of accidents in industry and transport are of great importance, not only by indicating trends in the incidence of loss or casualties, but also as a measure of human behaviour. The third edition of this well received book places emphasis on the human factor, with the first two chapters providing a method of analyzing the records of accident and all cause mortality rates to show their relationship with levels of economic development and growth rates, and offering suggestions as to the way in which such processes may be linked. The author concludes that improvements in safety and economic well being result from the activities of the population as a whole, that these activities are self regulated and sub-consciously guided, and are not influenced by governmental laws or regulations. The implications of this conclusion are far reaching and have yet to be explored.

Case histories are given throughout the book. These are designed to show how human frailty, or the unexpected weakness of materials, or a combination of both, can lead to dire and tragic circumstances.
