David Marx argues that regulatory and human resource prohibitions, along with the criminal prosecution of human error, have been counter-productive to helping society deal with the risks and consequences of human fallibility. Marx advocates a different approach to addressing our shared fallibility.Chris Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980776440613628190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677843090727579263.post-27713672225496546302014-04-01T11:10:12.198-06:002014-04-01T11:10:12.198-06:00Riva,

Our intent with "Managing the Unexptected" is to maintain a list of master books. The "Top 25" are likely to change. This gives our avid readers and students of fire an opportunity to respond (we didn't get a lot of comments prior to launch). <br /><br />We welcome any and all suggestions as we move forward. We know that going from 100 to 25 would be a significant change, but we knew something had to be done. None of the titles are going away. We will keep them all.<br /><br />Stay tuned and in touch.<br /><br />Thanks for your input and continual support and leadership insight.<br /><br />Pam McDonaldpmcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338515744358574223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677843090727579263.post-41480680223790639932014-04-01T10:53:53.566-06:002014-04-01T10:53:53.566-06:00Pretty good list, but I'm actually shocked you...Pretty good list, but I'm actually shocked you didn't include the 2nd edition of "Managing The Unexpected" about High Reliability Organizing! HRO is becoming one of the cornerstones of risk management in fire. I'm sure others have fave books they think you should have included. Can't please us all!
