From Aberfan to Zeebrugge, Learning from Disasters by Brian Toft and Simon
Reynolds belies its title by revealing how even risk managers do not learn from
past mistakes. Never mind foresight, hindsight too often fails them. But though
interesting, this amalgam of journalism and professional text book suffers from
relying on case studies mostly more than 20 years old. Published by Perpetuity
Press, £25, ISBN 1899287051.
