Normal Accidents analyzes the social side of technological risk. Charles Perrow argues that the conventional engineering approach to ensuring safety--building in more warnings and safeguards--fails because systems complexity makes failures inevitable. He asserts that typical precautions, by adding to complexity, may help create new categories of accidents. (At Chernobyl, tests of a new safety system helped produce the meltdown and subsequent fire.) By recognizing two dimensions of risk--complex versus linear interactions, and tight versus loose coupling--this book provides a powerful framework for analyzing risks and the organizations that insist we run them.

The first edition fulfilled one reviewer's prediction that it "may mark the beginning of accident research." In the new afterword to this edition Perrow reviews the extensive work on the major accidents of the last fifteen years, including Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Challenger disaster. The new postscript probes what the author considers to be the "quintessential 'Normal Accident'" of our time: the Y2K computer problem.

LIFE AND HEALTH A TEXT-BOOK ON PHYSIOLOGY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS, ACADEMIES AND NORiMAL SCHOOLS - PREFACE - THIS book is intended to serve as a text-book on physiology for such high schools, academies, and normal schools as provide two terms, and occasionallJ only one term, for this branch of study. For such secondary schools a shorter and simpler book than the authors Practical P zy. siology is needed. To meet this want the present book has been - - written. The general plan of the authors larger book has been followed and a certain amount of its material and many of its expensive woodcuts have been utilized. The text has been simplified throughout and a large amount of new and instructive matter has been added. In this book, as in all the other books of this series of . school physiologie. t, he text has been supplemented by a large number of carefully graded and practical experiments. For the most part they are simple and can be performed with apparatus that is inexpensive and easily obtained. The few facts which the young student is able to learn in school about the anatomy and physiology of the human body are of little value in themselves. Such facts, however, become of supreme importance and practical worth when they enable him to understand a few of the great laws of health and to apply them intelligently to his daily living. Hence the author has aimed to lay marked emphgsis upon such points as bear directly upon personal health. iii Preface Special effort has been made to utilize in the text of the several chapters the latest teachings of modern hygiene regarding the nature and propagation of bacteria, the prevention and restriction of disease, and the preservation of health. Sundry sections have been printed in smaller type. These may be omitted if it is deemed necessary to shorten the course in physiology. This text-book complies fully with the laws of those states which require the study of the nature and the effects of alcohol, tobacco, and other narcotics upon the human system. The author would acknowledge his indebtedness to Dr. Margaret B. Wilson of New York City f6r editorial assistance in revising the manuscript and reading the proof. A. F. BLAISDELL BOSTON J , une, I-p2 PUBLISHERS NOTE The author of this book has written an additional chapter Chapter XV on The Cause and Prevention of Tuberculosis, or Consumption.
