Requests:  0 Summary:  "Weaving together cutting-edge social science with riveting stories that take us from the frontlines of the Volkswagen scandal to backstage at the Oscars, and from deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico to the top of Mount Everest, Chris Clearfield and András Tilcsik explain how the increasing complexity of our systems creates conditions ripe for failure and why our brains and teams can't keep up. They highlight the paradox of progress: Though modern systems have given us new capabilities, they've become vulnerable to surprising meltdowns--and even to corruption and misconduct. But Meltdown isn't just about failure; it's about solutions--whether you're managing a team or the chaos of your family's morning routine. It reveals why ugly designs make us safer, how a five-minute exercise can prevent billion-dollar catastrophes, why teams with fewer experts are better at managing risk, and why diversity is one of our best safeguards against failure. The result is an eye-opening, empowering, and entirely original book--one that will change the way you see our complex world and your own place in it."--Jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 158 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 158 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 158 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 158 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 158 Cl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
