The Crisis-Prone Society: A Brief Guide to Managing the Beliefs that Drive Risk in Business

Rethinking the Education Mess: A Systems Approach to Education Reform
Using a form of systems thinking, this book analyzes K-12 education as a complex, "messy" system that must be tackled as a whole and provides a series of heuristics to help those involved in the education mess to improve the system as a whole.
Virtuosity in Business
The recent global financial crisis raises pressing issues that are not exclusively economic. The health of the economy, Kevin T. Jackson contends, reflects the moral health of the wider culture: ethics must be considered along with economics to understand world markets, especially now that globalization and other forces have increasingly complicated the regulation of transnational corporate conduct. Virtuosity in Business calls on businesspeople and ethicists to expand their thinking by stressing the profound relevance of philosophy to business and economics. Virtuosity in Business shows that ethics has been the overriding problem for business and that it is the only enduring solution. Drawi...
The Library Security and Safety Guide to Prevention, Planning, and Response
Security planning, part of disaster response and continuous operations planning, is the key to proactively addressing potential safety issues.
Trade Perspectives in the Context of Safety, Security, Privacy and Loyalty
This book represents the work of a team of theorists and practitioners from various Central and Eastern European countries who offer a multidisciplinary approach to security and safety issues which companies in international and domestic trade, as well as consumers, are facing nowadays. Contributions range from the topics of terrorism and piracy, various aspects of theft and theft prevention, to the challenges of security and privacy in electronic and mobile commerce. Therefore, the book is a powerful resource in solving problems because it not only considers security, privacy, and ethical issues, among others, but also discusses how to prevent them before they occur.
Communicating Risk and Safety
The world is wrought with risks that may harm people and cost lives. The news is riddled with reports of natural disasters (wildfires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes), industrial disasters (chemical spills, water and air pollution), and health pandemics (e.g., SARS, H1NI, COVID19). Effective risk communication is critical to mitigating harms. The body of research in this handbook reveals the challenges of communicating such messages, affirms the need for dialogue, embraces the role of instruction in proactively communicating risk, acknowledges the function of competing risk messages, investigates the growing influence of new media, and constantly reconsiders the ethical imperative for communicating recommendations for enhanced safety.
Managing Crises

This book shows you how to: · Avoid a crisis entirely · Lay the groundwork for managing a crisis · Know when a crisis is imminent · Contain and resolve a crisis · Learn from each crisis you've resolved
Pediatric Cancer Survivors
Pediatric cancer develops in 1 to 500 children. Typically, the type of cancers that develop in children is different than those that develop in adults, in that they are often the result of a DNA mutation rather than environmental or lifestyle risk factors. Leukemia, brain and central nervous system tumors, and neuroblastomas are the most common cancer types in child populations. Children tend to respond better to anticancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation. However, long-term side effects are common in children, often requiring follow-up care and lifestyle intervention for the rest of their lives. The percentage of 5-year survivors was over 50% for the most common cancers. This suggests that a majority of cancers in this population are highly survivable. As such, research should focus on aspects of survivorship for these individuals. This book will explore issues related to pediatric cancer and their associated treatments.
