Making History at Bear Mountain: Family Memories, the Palisades, and an Inheritance Worth Preserving

Growing up in the North Jersey suburbs in the 1960s, I never thought of my family as makers of American history. But looking back on our weekend trips to Bear Mountain and the banks of the Hudson River, I realize that we participated in an important chapter of the 20th century: the flowering of the...

Failure To Learn: the BP Texas City Refinery Disaster

Published: July 2008


In Failure to Learn: The BP Texas City Refinery Disaster, respected OHS expert Professor Andrew Hopkins discusses the causes of a major explosion at the Texas City Oil Refinery on March 23, 2005, that killed 15 workers and injured more than 170 others. Failure to Learn also analyses the similarities between this event and the Longford Gas Plant explosion in Victoria in 1998, featured in his earlier book Lessons from Longford.

Professor Andrew Hopkins is being recognized by the European Process Safety Centre in October 2008, in recognition of his contribution to safety. Professor Hopkins is the first winner to receive the award, outside of Europe, which is a demonstration of the impact of his valuable work worldwide.

Andrew has been awarded a prize by the European Process Safety Centre for “extraordinary contribution to process safety”, the first time this has been awarded outside of Europe. He also appears in the US Chemical Safety Board film on Texas City and has been invited to appear in a subsequent film.

Professor Hopkins poses questions such as:

  • Why was the number of victims so large?
  • Who was blamed for the explosion?
  • What were the real causes?
  • Had lessons been learnt from the earlier incident at Longford?
  • Has anything changed as a result of the Texas City accident?

The foreword for the book was written by Carolyn Merritt, chair of the CSB at the time of the accident and subsequent inquiry.

Disastrous Decisions: The Human and Organisational Causes of the Gulf of Mexico Blowout

Published: May 2012


Disastrous Decisions: The Human and Organisational Causes of the Gulf of Mexico Blowout is an essential reference for all work, health and safety professionals, directors, officers, managers, safety regulators and engineers.

Written by noted expert Professor Andrew Hopkins, this book takes the reader into the realm of human and organisational factors that contributed to the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010. This event resulted in the loss of 11 lives in the explosions and fire, the sinking of the rig and untold damage to the environment and to the livelihood of Gulf residents.

It is important to know what people did, but even more important to know why they did it, so this book attempts to “get inside the heads” of decision-makers and understand how they themselves understood the situations they were in. It also seeks to discover what it was in their organisational environment that encouraged them to think and act as they did.

Hopkins provides a sophisticated analysis of the accident that first identifies a series of critical defences that failed and then goes on to explain why they failed.

Disability Insurance and Other Living Benefits, 3rd Edition

The 1990’s witnessed the end of job creation in the sectors that historically purchased disability insurance. A new era has begun: roughly 1 million contract workers have emerged. They are found in almost all industries and occupations. As diverse as the general public – there is an equal number of men and women, many highly educated, others not, with wide-ranging earnings levels and all in need of disability and other healthcare benefits.

Insurers have responded by unbundling disability insurance and expanding their offerings to include critical illness, health, drug, dental, travel, and other classless, non- income based products.

The author, Jacqueline Figas, looks at disability insurance and other living benefits in the context of the realities faced in today’s challenging work and lifestyle environment.

Included in this edition:

  • Health benefits planning for pre and post-retirement years
  • Traditional products and coverage for specialized markets
  • Insuring “temps” and “independent contractors”
  • Critical illness insurance
  • Private health and dental insurance
  • Checklists, charts and other planning tools

Jacqueline is a benefits consultant through her company, Health Assured Financial Group, and has over 30 years of experience in health benefits. She is a noted speaker and author on seniors’ issues and benefits planning for an aging clientele.

She is a Chartered Life Underwriter, a Registered Health Underwriter, and an Elder Planning Counselor, and is on the faculty of Seneca College where she educates on a range of aging issues including both health and social aspects of aging.

She is the author of the Long Term Care Insurance training module produced by ADVOCIS under their Registered Health Underwriter (RHU) Designation Program. Her published works through CCH Canadian Limited include “The Aging Client and Long-Term Care Issues” and “Disability Insurance and Other Living Benefits”.

Simplifying levulinic acid conversion towards a sustainable biomass valorisation

Green Chem., 2020, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/C9GC04306C, Paper
Chiara Defilippi, Daily Rodríguez-Padrón, Rafael Luque, Cristina Giordano
In the range of biomass valorisation, hydroconversion of levulinic acid (one of the products of the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass) was tested for the first time using nanosized Ni3N and Ni0 catalysts, with very promising results alongside high stability.
