Professionals striving for accident reduction must deal with systems in which both technical and human elements play equal and complementary roles. However, many of the existing techniques in ergonomics and risk management concentrate on plant and technical issues and downplay human factors and "subjectivity." Safety Management: A Qualitative Systems Approach describes a body of theories and data that addresses safety by drawing on systems theory and applied psychology, stressing the importance of human activity within systems. It explains in detail the central roles of social consensus and reliability and the nature of verbal reports and functional discourse. This text presents a new approach to safety management, offering a path to both greater safety and to economic savings. It presents a series of methodological tools that have proven to be reliable through extensive use in the rail and nuclear industries. These methods allow organizational and systems failures to be analyzed much more effectively in terms of quantity, precision, and usefulness. The concepts and tools described in this book are particularly valuable for reliability engineers, risk managers, human factors specialists, and safety managers and professionals in safety-critical organizations.

A novel by John Davies and Theresa Brady. Soviet and American scientists monitor near-space nuclear tests to measure the effects of the electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) generated. A scaled-down version of a novel EMP weapon is successfully tested under the cloak of North Korean nuclear tests. Russian intelligence determines that Iran is planning an EMP attack on America to facilitate an attack against Israel. Russia joins the cabal. The warhead and missile are smuggled into northern Mexico and launched against the US on July 4th,2020, destroying the US electrical distribution system and most electronic devices, making travel and communication impossible, and leaving citizens in a desperate competition for food and water.In addition, destruction of American leadership leaves the world without the restraining hand of US power and influence. The Commander of USA Pacific Command is thrust into the position of Acting President to confront the challenges ahead. Believing they have neutralized America, Iran plans to destroy the hated Jewish state. Israel learns of this scheme and plans a preemptive strike. Russia concludes that the time has come to restore the boundaries of the former Soviet Union, while North Korea, seizing the opportunity, attacks South Korea. American forces, stationed off-shore at the time of the attack, respond in defense of the South. China threatens intervention...

Book number five from Surrey Poet John Davies. This may not be everyone's cup of tea, then again poetry is a mixed bag. I have my own personal Troller and I am so proud of the terrible reviews I get from him, especially as he is consistent in being a turd. Think Bukowski, Morrison, Huxley, Crowley. This is dark poetry but there is always hope and a few name checks along the way. A great read with wine and cheese.

John Davies, an inveterate traveller and unstoppable people watcher, loves to document people going about their daily business around the world. He photographs ordinary people of all cultures and climes be they from Senegal or Shanghai, London or Laos; be they workers or wood collectors, chefs or chiefs. What they all have in common in this wonderfully diverse world is that at least at some time of the day, they are getting around and about.

Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, its legacy and the accompanying Russian-American tension continues to loom large. Russia's access to detailed information on the United States and its allies may not seem so shocking in this day of data clouds and leaks, but long before we had satellite imagery of any neighborhood at a finger's reach, the amount the Soviet government knew about your family's city, street, and even your home would astonish you. Revealing how this was possible, The Red Atlas is the never-before-told story of the most comprehensive mapping endeavor in history and the surprising maps that resulted. From 1950 to 1990, the Soviet Army conducted a global topographic mapping program, creating large-scale maps for much of the world that included a diversity of detail that would have supported a full range of military planning. For big cities like New York, DC, and London to towns like Pontiac, MI and Galveston, TX, the Soviets gathered enough information to create street-level maps. What they chose to include on these maps can seem obvious like locations of factories and ports, or more surprising, such as building heights, road widths, and bridge capacities. Some of the detail suggests early satellite technology, while other specifics, like detailed depictions of depths and channels around rivers and harbors, could only have been gained by actual Soviet feet on the ground. The Red Atlas includes over 350 extracts from these incredible Cold War maps, exploring their provenance and cartographic techniques as well as what they can tell us about their makers and the Soviet initiatives that were going on all around us. A fantastic historical document of an era that sometimes seems less distant, The Red Atlas offers an uncanny view of the world through the eyes of Soviet strategists and spies.

Davies' poems track and map the characteristics of his relationships--with the environment, people he meets, loved ones, animals, work, childhood, fantasy, and, of course, sheds.This is a collection mingling wry humour with sharp focus that will leave you wondering and questioning what really matters.
