How do accidents and disasters occur? How has knowledge of accident
processes evolved? A significant improvement in safety has occurred
during the past century, with the number of accidents falling
spectacularly within industry, aviation and road traffic. This
progress has been gradual in the context of a changing society. The
improvements are partly due to a better understanding of the
accident processes that ultimately lead to damage. This book shows
how contemporary crises instigated the development of safety
knowledge and how the safety sciences pieced their theories
together by research, by experience and by taking ideas from other
domains. From Safety to Safety Science details 150 years of
knowledge development in the safety sciences. The authors have
rigorously extracted the essence of safety knowledge development
from more than 2,500 articles to provide a unique overview and
insight into the background and usability of safety theories, as
well as modelling how they developed and how they are used today.
Extensive appendices and references provide an additional dimension
to support further scholarly work in this field. The book is
divided into clear time periods to make it an accessible piece of
science history that will be invaluable to both new and experienced
safety researchers, to safety courses and education, and to learned
practitioners.
One of the most popular and controversial Chinese history books
ever written, China under the Empress Dowager is also one of the
best. Authors Bland and Backhouse take you inside the Forbidden
City during the reign of Empress Dowager Cixi (1861-1908), a world
of power-thirsty eunuchs, concubines and Mandarins, intrigue,
bitter antagonism and ruthless reprisals. The book was unique for
its time in its reliance on Chinese source materials, some of which
may have been fabricated. As entertaining as it is enlightening,
the book that presaged the fall of the Qing dynasty is as readable
today as it ever was.
