Book excerpt: Every day, the risk to the personal safety for us and our children increases. Unfortunately, most of the current books dealing with the issue adopt a acookbooka approach of techniques to deal with the problem. Recognizing that it is impossible to present all of the threats we may face, Dr. Brundellas book is designed to train the reader to detect a possible threat, BEFORE IT HAPPENS, so that we can avoid it. Written in a clear and concise manner, the book lays the groundwork for developing situational awareness so that the reader will begin to think safe, thereby staying safe. The book also includes material on how to train our children in the art of enhanced, situational awareness. Prior to becoming a chiropractic physician, Dr. Brundell worked in the security industry for many years. Retiring from active practice to pursue a career in writing, he returned to the security field as well, only to find that most people are less aware of the threats that surround them than they were two decades ago. After his youngest daughter survived a vicious dog attack and thanked him for training her how to deal with threats Dr. Brundell stopped his work on his next health book to write Think SafeaStay Safe.

Book Synopsis Think ACT Stay Safe with the R.E.A.C.T. Approach to Self Defence by : Stephen W. Collins

Download or read book Think ACT Stay Safe with the R.E.A.C.T. Approach to Self Defence written by Stephen W. Collins. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the newspapers and television constantly remind us, violent crime is on the increase, violence that can strike at you anywhere and at any time - on holiday, at work, on nights' out or during any one of a thousand everyday situations. But even if you are confronted by the unthinkable, you don't have to become a victim. This important new book shows you how you can protect yourself regardless of your age, sex or level of fitness by using the simple but effective REACT formula: R: Recognise E: Evaluate A: Alternatives C: Concentrate T: Terminate Using clear and concise step-by-step instructions, reinforced with many illustrations and diagrams, each of these five basic principles is expanded and explained in such a way that they quickly become 'second nature'. Following this sequence in any circumstance will allow you to recognise potential threats, decide on the best form of action to take and equip you carry to this through. While The R.E.A.C.T. Self defence System does concentrate on a dozen or so straightforward but effective self-protection combat techniques, it is not just another self-defence book, full of impractical or ineffective martial arts routines. What it does is heighten your perception of danger, letting you understand what could be happening to you and enables you to do something about it before it does.

Book Synopsis Engineering a Safer World by : Nancy G. Leveson

Download or read book Engineering a Safer World written by Nancy G. Leveson. This book was released on 2012-01-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new approach to safety, based on systems thinking, that is more effective, less costly, and easier to use than current techniques. Engineering has experienced a technological revolution, but the basic engineering techniques applied in safety and reliability engineering, created in a simpler, analog world, have changed very little over the years. In this groundbreaking book, Nancy Leveson proposes a new approach to safety—more suited to today's complex, sociotechnical, software-intensive world—based on modern systems thinking and systems theory. Revisiting and updating ideas pioneered by 1950s aerospace engineers in their System Safety concept, and testing her new model extensively on real-world examples, Leveson has created a new approach to safety that is more effective, less expensive, and easier to use than current techniques. Arguing that traditional models of causality are inadequate, Leveson presents a new, extended model of causation (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes, or STAMP), then shows how the new model can be used to create techniques for system safety engineering, including accident analysis, hazard analysis, system design, safety in operations, and management of safety-critical systems. She applies the new techniques to real-world events including the friendly-fire loss of a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter in the first Gulf War; the Vioxx recall; the U.S. Navy SUBSAFE program; and the bacterial contamination of a public water supply in a Canadian town. Leveson's approach is relevant even beyond safety engineering, offering techniques for “reengineering” any large sociotechnical system to improve safety and manage risk.

Book excerpt: The Go-To Resource for Large-Scale Organizations to Be Agile Rather than asking, “How can we do agile at scale in our big complex organization?” a different and deeper question is, “How can we have the same simple structure that Scrum offers for the organization, and be agile at scale rather than do agile?” This profound insight is at the heart of LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum). In Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, Craig Larman and Bas Vodde have distilled over a decade of experience in large-scale LeSS adoptions towards a simpler organization that delivers more flexibility with less complexity, more value with less waste, and more purpose with less prescription. Targeted to anyone involved in large-scale development, Large-Scale Scrum: More with LeSS, offers straight-to-the-point guides for how to be agile at scale, with LeSS. It will clearly guide you to Adopt LeSS Structure a large development organization for customer value Clarify the role of management and Scrum Master Define what your product is, and why Be a great Product Owner Work with multiple whole-product focused feature teams in one Sprint that produces a shippable product Coordinate and integrate between teams Work with multi-site teams
