Innovation and Consolidation in Aviation

'At first this book appears to be an eclectic collection of chapters addressing disparate human factors issues. Don't be fooled, though. The chapters in this volume represent a comprehensive overview of many of the most pressing human factors problems in the fields of aviation and medicine. The book's contributors are an outstanding international collection of recognised experts drawn from all facets of industry and academia, who are well placed to recognise these issues. Their chapters address a vast range of issues, from macro-level organisational safety issues to very specific topics, such as inadvertent evacuation slide activation. Anyone with a professional interest in aviation will find something of value within its pages. If you want to know what the human factors research agenda is for the first decade of the 21st Century,
this book is an excellent place to start.' Dr Don Harris,
