Summary, etc. Analyzes the social side of technological risk. Argues that the conventional engineering approach to ensuring safety fails because increasing complexity makes failures more likely or even inevitable. Covers accidents in the nuclear power industry (Three Mile Island), petrochemical plants, aircraft and flying, marine accidents, dams, mines, earthquakes, space and weapon systems. Concludes with some suggestions about what should be done. When first published in 1984 this book was hailed as a breakthrough in accident research.
