Drift into Failure
From Hunting Broken Components to Understanding Complex Systems
2011 || Paperback || Sidney Dekker || Taylor & Francis
What does the collapse of sub-prime lending have in common with a broken jackscrew in an airliners tailplane? Or the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the burn-up of Space Shuttle Columbia? These were systems that drifted into failure.

Systems Design and Engineering / 1st edition
Facilitating Multidisciplinary Development Projects
2015 || Paperback || G.Maarten Bonnema e.a. || Taylor & Francis
As its name implies, the aim of Systems Design and Engineering: Facilitating Multidisciplinary Development Projects is to help systems engineers develop the skills and thought processes needed to successfully develop and implement engineered systems. Such expertise typically does not come through study but from action, hard work, and cooperation. To that end, the authors have chosen a "hands-on" approach for presenting material rather than concentrating on theory, as so often is the case in a...
