Washington, D.C.: The Beginning of a Countryand the End of Our LineThe experiences of a teacher and his white students on a nationwide trek toward racial understanding. In 1998 James Waller took twenty-one white college students from Washington state on a month-long journey. Prejudice Across America is the record of their interaction with the American Indian, Asian American, African American, Hispanic, and Jewish experiences nationwide. Few books have so directly and humanly captured the moment when whites confront the realities of those living as a minority in America. Waller reports here on this innovative and award-winning trek.

These reports are based on the premise that, with a little more thought, these oversights, and so the crisis, would have been avoided. Is it really that simple? The important question is whether, without hindsight, it would have even been possible to identify the actual factors that lead to the failure. This book explores this issue as a practical problem. The book takes Barry Turner's Disaster Incubation Theory as its central theme. The first chapter explores the way Turner structured his theory and the way it has been used, before re-imagining it as a way to fostering foresight. The next three chapters examine key issues in detail. They explain why Turner's model was chosen, outline the issues that need to be considered when seeking to prevent such failures and how to use the proposed frameworks. Chapter 5 examines the lessons learnt from this study and, in particular, looks at the mental approach required when seeking such foresight. Finally, Chapter 6 provides a fully worked example. It uses work by Frank Stech who has applied Turner's theory to a past case.Crises occur everywhere and we continue to struggle to avoid them. In this book Mike Lauder provides executives with thinking tools to help them avoid missing the warning signs of their next crisis.Risk managementEmergency managementElectronic books.Risk management.Emergency management.658.4/77Lauder Mike862138MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460735303321In pursuit of foresight1924531UNINA01154nam a2200277 i 450099100260916970753620020508203106.0001116s1980 it ||| | ita 20000b11034762-39ule_instPARLA165869ExLDip.to Scienze Storiche Fil. e Geogr.itaSala, Giuseppe Antonio83495Diario romano degli anni 1798-99 :dal 1⁰ luglio al 31 dicembre 1798 ; ristampa con premessa di Vittorio Em.
