Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. New Edition. Hardback. Safety and Survival at Sea. Slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. some light foxing to edgesHistory, both past and current, shows that when in trouble at sea some perish under conditions far less severe that those under which others - better prepared, better trained, better equipped, or psychologically stronger - have survived. Against this background, the authors have compiled this remarkable book, an anthology of first-person accounts of man's ability - or inability - to survive at sea. The contributions cover the depositions of survivors of collisions, fires, torpedoings, aircraft crashes, and yacht sinkings, make shortly after rescue from sea. There are accounts of experiences on rafts, in lifeboats, and in the sea, from the tropics to the Arctic Ocean, and firsthand observations from the logbooks and writings of such people as Chichester, Knox-Johnson, Shackleton, and John Ridgway and Chay Blyth. The material is presented in sequence, from preparation against shipwreck, through survival conditions of exposure, to descriptions of rescues and treatment after rescue. With each section the authors draw conclusions and make practical suggestions. Thus an anthology which makes compelling reading in itself becomes also a necessary and authoritiative handbook of survival for all whose work - or leisure - put them at them at any time at the mercy of the sea. A new section deals with human fallibility which remains the major cause of accidents at sea. Illustrated. 343 pp. Hardback. A Bibliography of English Corantos and Periodical Newsbooks 1620-1642.
