Abstract

"A history of industry and technology, this book analyzes five workplace disasters in the southwestern United States during the half century after World War II. These disasters occurred in growing industries such as petrochemical production, commercial aviation, health care, and tourism. The author considers how these tragedies transformed individual lives and specific work environments, and he explains how employees, employers, and public leaders reacted to them."
