Review Quotes:
"Situation awareness (SA) is, simply put, understanding the situation in which one is operating. The importance of studying SA has been communicated quite well in this volume....For basic research, it provides scientists a crucible to test their laboratory-derived general principles. For applied research, it is a concept of clear and immediate importance."
