Synthesising clinical case reports and the research literature on the effects of stress, suggestion and trauma on memory, Richard McNally arrives at significant conclusions, first and foremost that traumatic experiences are indeed unforgettable.
Recording Oral History
In Recording Oral History, Second Edition, Valerie Raleigh Yow builds on the foundation of her classic text with a fully updated and substantially expanded new edition. One of the most widely used and highly regarded textbooks ever published in the field, Yow's updated edition now includes new material on using the internet, an examination of the interactions between oral history and memory processes, and analysis of testimony and the interpretation of meanings in different contexts.

From Safety to Safety Science
How do accidents and disasters occur? How has knowledge of accident processes evolved? A significant improvement in safety has occurred during the past century, with the number of accidents falling spectacularly within industry, aviation and road traffic. This progress has been gradual in the context of a changing society. The improvements are partly due to a better understanding of the accident processes that ultimately lead to damage. This book shows how contemporary crises instigated the development of safety knowledge and how the safety sciences pieced their theories together by research, by experience and by taking ideas from other domains. From Safety to Safety Science details 150 year...
Overakker-complot
In Het Overakker-complot staat het verzet tegen de Japanse bezetter in Noord-Sumatra tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog centraal. Het verzet, vernoemd naar de generaal die de leiding zou hebben genomen, trachtte ondanks het strenge Japanse regime de komst van de geallieerde troepen voor te bereiden en het de Japanse troepen zo moeilijk mogelijk te maken. Maar was er werkelijk sprake van een complot? Nauwgezet analyseert Esther Zwinkels het unieke bronnenmateriaal en reconstrueert de gebeurtenissen. Zowel het kat-en-muisspel tussen de verzetsleden en de Japanse bezetter als het gerechtelijk proces worden levendig uiteengezet. Zwinkels maakt op overtuigende wijze duidelijk dat er soms meer schuilg...
Human Error
Human Error, published in 1991, is a major theoretical integration of several previously isolated literatures. Particularly important is the identification of cognitive processes common to a wide variety of error types. Technology has now reached a point where improved safety can only be achieved on the basis of a better understanding of human error mechanisms. In its treatment of major accidents, the book spans the disciplinary gulf between psychological theory and those concerned with maintaining the reliability of hazardous technologies. As such, it is essential reading not only for cognitive scientists and human factors specialists, but also for reliability engineers and risk managers. No existing book speaks with so much clarity to both the theorists and the practitioners of human reliability.
