Why Things Bite Back by Edward Tenner

This work contends that with every great advance in science and technology, there is a corresponding revenge effect. Yesterday's asbestos curtain, for example, which used to be used for protection, now implies a long-term chronic hazard. The book combines common themes from widely differing disciplines such as traffic engineering, epidemiology, ecology, social psychology, and organizational behaviour.The resulting overview offers a template for problem solving across the board - be it in business management, household matters, or how to cope with the general stress of living in the technological world.
