Introduction

The title is somewhat misleading as I was expecting a higher level of analysis from a book referring itself to being a study. The book appears to cover topics of interest to the author, rather than a targeted body of knowledge for a certain group or level, as it covers basic knot tying and then is off theorising with physics formula. The content appears to be made up of course handouts and I found the design and layout disappointing when compared with other rope rescue texts on the market such as those by James Frank, Mike Brown and Tom Vines.
