Sinossi

Translated from the 1989 French edition with the much more interesting title, Catastrophes? Non Merci! Analyzes the relationship between safety, reliability, and cultural attitudes, addressing human error as an unavoidable, foreseeable factor that can and should be accounted for in the design of complex systems intended for human-machine interaction. Introduces the nontechnical reader to the structures and features of machines in complex systems, examines various characteristics of human operators, and presents case studies from risk-associated industries such as spaceflight (Challenger), nuclear power (Three Mile Island, Chernobyl), chemicals (Bhopal), and land, sea, and air transportation. The bibliographic references are mostly to works in French. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
