| Sumario: | A review is presented of Safe: The Race to Protect Ourselves in a Newly Dangerous World, by Martha Baer, Katrina Heron, Oliver Morton, and Evan Ratliff. In this book, Baer et al. argue that people who work in open systems are armed with better information and are better able to respond to natural disasters and terrorist attacks. The writer contends that Safe provides a riveting look at the intersection between human ingenuity and scientific possibility and never loses sight of the fact that efforts toward disaster preparedness and response must always be people-centered. |
