Intends to explore the human contribution to both the reliability and resilience of complex well-defended systems. This book considers the human as a hazard, a system component whose unsafe acts are implicated in the majority of catastrophic breakdowns.

Usually the human is considered a hazard - a system component whose unsafe acts are implicated in the majority of catastrophic breakdowns. However there is another perspective that has been relatively little studied in its own right - the human as hero, whose adaptations and compensations bring troubled systems back from the brink of disaster time and again. What, if anything, did these situations have in common? Can these human abilities be ''bottled'' and passed on to others? The Human Contribution delivers this positive and fresh perspective.
