Review title: Bring back Normal Accidents
Product review: I started teaching a doctoral seminar here in Paris on loosely coupled systems and assigned my students Normal Accidents, then had to backpedal when I found out that the book has been beamed off the planet. A conspiracy by nuclear, marine, aviation, space, genetic engineering industries? The book built on Perrow's years' of experiences on the interactions between technologies and organizations, and launched a subfield of management researchers looking at the social-technological construction of catastrophes. It'd be fun to see a second edition after Chernobyl, Challenger, Bhopal, and assorted additional catastrophes since 1984.
