Reviews

This is a book that should sit dog-eared on the desk or shelf of everyone who claims to be involved in outdoor education: instructor, tertiary educator, school teacher, youth group leader and trustee/board member. It is a book that needs to be read and reread and the learning digested to ensure that avoidable fatalities from the past are not repeated. (Mike Brown, Journal of Outdoor and Environmental Education, December, 2019) I am familiar with Brookes' previous work on fatality prevention, this book has been influential partly as refresher, and partly due to the new insights which situate fatality prevention within wider safety discourses. ... There is no one who has worked to this end so comprehensively and with such dedication. Brookes has inspired others, including myself, to make changes to our practice. This book continues the trajectory of this project and its impact may well provide a small solace to those grieving.
