1. C'est un peu court ... - Ouvrage intéressant avec une vraie polarisation sur la sécurité, ce qui est louable, mais qui reste en dessous de la main concernant la pédagogie que l'on aurait pu en attendre. Pour un prix non négligeable à l'achat, on peut quand même regretter un manque d'informations que l'on va d'ailleurs trouver gratuitement sur Internet, sans parler des répétitions dont l'ouvrage se fait l'écho et dont honnêtement, il pourrait nous faire l'économie. En un mot, déçu.
