applications that bring theory to life through case studies and
stories from the author's years of experience in high-risk
industries. The book provides safety leaders and their
organisations with a compelling case for change. A key predictor of

integrity, ability and benevolence (care). The next generation of
safety leaders will take the profession forward by creating trust
and psychological safety. The book provides safety leaders with
actionable goals to enable positive change and translates academic
languages into practical applications. It leaves the reader with a
clear strategy to move forward in developing a safety plan and
utilizes stories, humor, and case studies set in high-risk
industries. Written primarily for the safety community and can be
used to influence day to day safety operations in high-risk
organisations.

Whilst many books have been published about war, the role of the
prisoner of war has been largely ignored or paid scant attention.
This book, along with the author's other title - The Arts and
Crafts of Napoleonic and American Prisoners of War 1756-1816 - aims
to correct this imbalance, and is the result of the author's quest
over thirty years into this almost-forgotten field of history. Part
One tells of the various wars that saw the men, from many different
countries, become prisoners. Tales of individuals and their
voyages, mutinies, fortunes and failures also feature, adding more
personal touches to the history and, as with the author's other
title, all the accounts are written in a highly evocative style.
Part Two is largely devoted to the prison hulks, describing the
vessels and the conditions on board that the prisoners would have

history. Illustrated here is an extensive selection of items from

the largest private collections of prisoner of war artefacts in
existence - revealing the incredible skills of these imprisoned
