The book has interviews with doctors saying that people could have been saved and when the cases went down such people were saved. There is a harrowing interview with the daughter of a 74-year-old man who was told that there was no space in the ICU. When his daughter was able to see him, as he died a painful death, there were 8 similar older people dying with no help, on the same ward.

A major challenge confronting the AU and its leaders is how to respond to the job and livelihood aspirations of Africa’s youth who account for as much as three-quarters of the labour force in most countries; many have gone to school and attended universities to become productive members of society, but end up being jobless. High and still rising levels of unemployment among young people in Africa prompted heads of state at the AUsummit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, last June to adopt a ‘Declaration on Creating Employment for Accelerating Youth Development and Empowerment’. The AU rightly recognizes the demographic dividend to be reaped from the region’s youthful population structure, as numerous countries in Asia have benefited from over the past two decades, and, hence, member states are encouraged to link their growth performance and development pattern to the creation of employment and socio-economic opportunities especially for young people. Failures of State covers the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom and the British government's response from the onset of the pandemic in January 2020 to early 2021. It begins with the initial outbreak in mainland China, accusing the Chinese government of covering up the outbreak and also expresses support for the lab leak theory. It suggests that the British government underestimated the threat of the virus in early 2020, inadequately preparing and responding slowly to the outbreak, leading to shortages of PPE and linking the slow response to a high death toll compared to other nations. The book is particularly critical of the leadership of Prime Minister Boris Johnson during the crisis. This includes his non-attendance of five COBR briefings during early 2020, and suggests him and others in the government were preoccupied with Brexit in early 2020. It also explores the strain the pandemic had on the National Health Service and Britain's health care system. They also accuse the government of disinformation in their response to the authors' reporting during the pandemic.

Key Principles in Managing Human Failure:

The book finishes its account in mid-January with the fiasco of Johnson keeping schools open and then closing them on the same day. It is a devastating indictment of the government’s actions and blames it for a huge number of deaths. The brain consists of a vast number of cells called neurons, connected to each other by synapses. Synapses enable chemicals to be passed from one neuron to another . These chemicals, called neurotransmitters, can either inhibit or stimulate the performance of neurons. where σ c {\displaystyle \sigma _{c}} is a critical value of the far field stress and Y {\displaystyle Y} is a dimensionless factor that depends on the geometry, material properties, and loading condition. The quantity K I c {\displaystyle K_{\rm {Ic}}} is related to the stress intensity factor and is determined experimentally. Similar quantities K I I c {\displaystyle K_{\rm {IIc}}} and K I I I c {\displaystyle K_{\rm {IIIc}}} can be determined for mode II and model III loading conditions.

Failures of State review – never forget the Johnson

First, the memory has disappeared – it is no longer available. Second, the memory is still stored in the memory system but, for some reason, it cannot be retrieved.In mathematical terms, failure theory is expressed in the form of various failure criteria which are valid for specific materials. Failure criteria are functions in stress or strain space which separate "failed" states from "unfailed" states. A precise physical definition of a "failed" state is not easily quantified and several working definitions are in use in the engineering community. Quite often, phenomenological failure criteria of the same form are used to predict brittle failure and ductile yields.
