Praise from readers "A superb book on how to prevent and minimize technological disasters." —P. Roy Vagelos, M.D. Retired Chairman and CEO, Merck & Co., Inc. "If you want to know how serious technological disasters can be, how poorly we tend to handle them, and what can be done to reduce or eliminate the dangers associated with them, this is the book for you." —Russell L.
