He also demonstrates that these worst cases open a window onto our society and culture because they shed light on our expectations, our valued icons, and our social structure. This is a timely and incredibly relevant book” — Charles Perrow, author of Normal Accidents: Living with High-Risk Technologies |
Thanks for that. Is there any way of getting something other than a PDF do you know? Like an EPUB or AZW file?
