About the Book

Causes of mistakes are found to have included media misinformation, political manipulation and forecasting error; and major contributions have come from inherited and socially-generated limitations upon our the ability to interpret information and take rational decisions. There are analysis of the contributory causes of a selection of past mistakes, including those responsible for a miscarriage of justice and those leading to the loss of the two space shuttles. It is argued that many mistakes can be avoided by awareness of past errors and weaknesses, and by the adoption of suitable precautions. It is suggested that the adoption of programmes of no-blame error-recording such as those now being pioneered in transport and medicine offers the prospect of substantial gains.

After a brief career as a flight test observer, Nick Gardner worked as a professional engineer in two industrial companies and in the British Government's Concorde project office. He then worked as an economist in three government departments and served as economic adviser to four British Cabinet Ministers. He is now a writer.
