I abandoned this book about a quarter of the way through though, because my god is it long.

This one overviews a method of system safety that looks beyond the root cause analysis used by so many organizations to determine "what went wrong" in an accident or incident.

There is a lot to learn in this book, even for those (such as myself) who are not systems engineers. The applications in so many diverse fields makes this a valuable resource for many.… (mere)
