essential reference for students and professionals. It offers the
most up-to-date information on issues such as malpractive,

right to refuse treatment. Two well-known professionals, a lawyer

ever more complex subject. they answer such questions as: What does
a lie detector test really tell you? Can law enforcement officials
use hypnosis to investigate a crime? Is eyewitness testimony the
most reliable and persuasive evidence? Are we living in a more
punitive society? These and other issues are dealt with in a
concise, readable manner, one that tells readers how to approach
the problems with arise in day-today practive as well as how to
think about the fundamental current ethical and legal issues.
Meticulously researched and documented, this important new volume
offers a lively presentation, one which is must reading for
students of law, and for professionals in both fields who want a
complete reference guide.
"The Ostrich Paradox boldly addresses a key question of our time:
Why are we humans so poor at dealing with disastrous risks, and
what can we humans do about it? It is a must-read for everyone who
cares about risk." -Daniel Kahneman, winner of the Nobel Prize in
Economics and author of Thinking, Fast and Slow We fail to evacuate
when advised. We rebuild in flood zones. We don't wear helmets. We
fail to purchase insurance. We would rather avoid the risk of
"crying wolf" than sound an alarm. Our ability to foresee and
protect against natural catastrophes has never been greater; yet,
we consistently fail to heed the warnings and protect ourselves and
our communities, with devastating consequences. What explains this
contradiction? In The Ostrich Paradox, Wharton professors Robert
Meyer and Howard Kunreuther draw on years of teaching and research
to explain why disaster preparedness efforts consistently fall
short. Filled with heartbreaking stories of loss and resilience,
the book addresses: *How people make decisions when confronted with
high-consequence, low-probability events-and how these decisions
can go awry *The 6 biases that lead individuals, communities, and
institutions to make grave errors that cost lives *The Behavioral
Risk Audit, a systematic approach for improving preparedness by
recognizing these biases and designing strategies that anticipate
them *Why, if we are to be better prepared for disasters, we need
to learn to be more like ostriches, not less Fast-reading and
critically important, The Ostrich Paradox is a must-read for anyone
who wants to understand why we consistently underprepare for
disasters, as well as private and public leaders, planners, and
policy-makers who want to build more prepared communities.

In diesem Buch wird ein Hierarchisches Produktionsplanungssystem
(HPP) fur den Produktionstyp der marktorientierten Serienfertigung
entworfen und fur einen Praxisfall eingesetzt. Das neuentwickelte
HPP ermoeglicht eine wesentlich detailliertere Planung der
Produktionskapazitat und loest das Losgroessen- und
Reihenfolgeproblem kapazitiert, simultan und unter Beachtung von
reihenfolgeabhangigen Rustkosten. Die durchgangige Implementation
des HPP, die Anwendung auf einen Praxisfall und die Simulation der
Praxisergebnisse lassen einen aussagekraftigen Vergleich zwischen
Praxisplanung und HPP zu.
