Review Quotes:
"The book is full of statistics on road, air and marine accidents borrowed from various sources which makes this useful for an interested person to know about. ... does not require any background to understand these basics of reliability and safety which is the specialty of most of the books written by Professor Dhillon on these specialized topics. The book will be found useful for a student who is interested in pursuing the subject as a beginner."
