- a system component whose unsafe acts are implicated in the majority of catastrophic breakdowns However there is another perspective that has been relatively little studied in its own right
- the human as hero whose adaptations & compensations bring troubled systems back from the brink of disaster time & again What if anything did these situations have in common? Can these human abilities be 'bottled' & passed on to others?
