Good read
Practise looks at how to minimise the frequency and severity of mistakes and provides a useful review of the thinking on the role of practise over the last 15 years. Simon has drawn principally from his work as a computer programmer for human implantable devices and other medical devices in start-up businesses. The book also reaches out to other disciplines as wide ranging as bushwalking, teeth cleaning, knitting and cheesecake making. The book's tone is irreverent and light hearted, making it both an easy and enjoyable to read.
