Flirting With Disaster

by Marc Gerstein

320 pages

We tend to think of disasters as uncontrollable acts of nature or inevitable accidents. But are such incidents unavoidable or ever truly accidental? The authors of this remarkable book say we actually do have the power to prevent tragedies such as the flooding from Hurricane Katrina, the death toll from dangerous medicines, such as Vioxx, and the explosion of the space shuttle Columbia.

Marc Gerstein and Michael Ellsberg insist disasters need not be inevitable if we learn from history, prepare carefully for the worst case and speak out when we see danger looming. This revelation makes their compelling study valuable for readers in business, government, medicine, academia - indeed all walks of life.
