Reviews

’This book is an agent for change. It goes a long way into solidifying the relationship between context, safety and training...’ from the foreword by Daniel E. Maurino, ICAO, Canada ’Telfer argues for a sound theoretical base for practice as well as for the professionalization of aviation instruction. This book makes a significant advance in both these directions. It is the most authoritative text on aviation psychology and human factors to date and is of utmost relevance to those who have a role in human resource training, management and instructional evaluation in aviation and other related areas. I recommend the book highly as a required text.’ Canadian Aeronautics and Space Journal
