Review Book News, Inc. - February 1, 2012
Hickman (emeritus, U. of California at Santa Barbara) and Sampsel (private consultant) draw on their many decades of experience as mechanical engineers and accident consultants to present a clear and concise text for lawyers and accident reconstructionists. They explain how to find the important data, analyze it, and determine cause and effect. In addition, the text is, in their words "...a compendium of information useful in litigation dealing with pleasure activities in and on water." Dates of the previous editions are not stated.
