New Book on the RNLI
One of big tasks last year was to edit a thesis by my late PhD student, Sam Jones. She died just months after a successful viva. I am delighted to say that her book, The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, 1824 to 1897: Organisational Change and State Support, is due out on June 23rd from Boydell and Brewer.
It was a privilege to work on this project which meant a great deal to Sam.
