  When faced with a ’human error’ problem, you may be tempted to ask 'Why didn’t these people watch out better?' Or, 'How can I get my people more engaged in safety?' You might think you can solve your safety problems by telling your people to be more careful, by reprimanding the miscreants, by issuing a new rule or procedure and demanding compliance. These are all expressions of 'The Bad Apple Theory' where you believe your system is basically safe if it were not for those few unreliable people in it. Building on its successful predecessors, the third edition of The Field Guide to Understanding ’Human Error’ will help you understand a new way of dealing with a perceived 'human error' problem in your organization. It will help you trace how your organization juggles inherent trade-offs between safety and other pressures and expectations, suggesting that you are not the custodian of an already safe system. It will encourage you to start looking more closely at the performance that others may still call 'human error', allowing you to discover how your people create safety through practice, at all levels of your organization, mostly successfully, under the pressure of resource constraints and multiple conflicting goals. The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error' will help you understand how to move beyond 'human error'; how to understand accidents; how to do better investigations; how to understand and improve your safety work. You will be invited to think creatively and differently about the safety issues you and your organization face. In each, you will find possibilities for a new language, for different concepts, and for new leverage points to influence your own thinking and practice, as well as that of your colleagues and organization. If you are faced with a ’human error’ problem, abandon the fallacy of a quick fix. Read this book.

  Gulp - Adventures on the...

  The irresistible, ever-curious, and always bestselling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. 
   
  "America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn't the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of―or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists―who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. 
   
  Like all of Roach's books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.

  This book contains two titles, which are: 
  Ecology - Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relationships between living organisms and their interactions with their environment. This scientific discipline explores how organisms coexist within ecosystems, interact with one another, and adapt to their surroundings. The study of ecology is vital because it provides insight into the functioning of natural systems and the impact human activities have on the environment. It emphasizes the interdependence of all life forms, from microscopic bacteria to the largest animals, and underscores the intricate balance necessary for sustaining life on Earth. At its core, ecology is concerned with understanding the distribution and abundance of organisms, as well as the processes that shape these patterns. It is a multidisciplinary field that draws from biology, geography, geology, chemistry, and physics. 
  Environmental Science - Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that integrates various scientific disciplines to study the natural world and the impact of human activities on it. This branch of science explores the complex interactions between living organisms, their physical surroundings, and the broader ecosystems they form. The primary goal of environmental science is to understand how natural systems function, identify environmental problems, and develop strategies for addressing these issues. At its core, environmental science seeks to answer fundamental questions about the earth's resources, how they are used, and how human actions influence the balance of ecosystems. It draws from biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and social sciences to provide a comprehensive understanding of the environment.
