Summary

Focuses on reciprocal relationships between humanity, environment, and technology with data from 7 interdisciplinary projects in aviation, nuclear power plants, and the hospital operating theatre. Answers how task load affects 1) interaction among members of a high risk team and 2) the results of a team's work. Provides groundwork for improvement in group interaction in high risk work environments, especially in those fields addressed in this book.
