520    In his latest bestseller, Atul Gawande shows what the 
       simple idea of the checklist reveals about the complexity 
       of our lives and how we can deal with it.  The modern 
       world has given us stupendous know-how. Yet avoidable 
       failures continue to plague us in health care, government,
       the law, the financial industry—in almost every realm of 
       organized activity. And the reason is simple: the volume 
       and complexity of knowledge today has exceeded our ability
       as individuals to properly deliver it to 
       people—consistently, correctly, safely. We train longer, 
       specialize more, use ever-advancing technologies, and 
       still we fail. Atul Gawande makes a compelling argument 
       that we can do better, using the simplest of methods: the 
       checklist. In riveting stories, he reveals what checklists
       can do, what they can’t, and how they could bring about 
       striking improvements in a variety of fields, from 
       medicine and disaster recovery to professions and 
       businesses of all kinds. And the insights are making a 
       difference. Already, a simple surgical checklist from the 
       World Health Organization designed by following the ideas 
       described here has been adopted in more than twenty 
       countries as a standard for care and has been heralded as 
       “the biggest clinical invention in thirty years” (The 
       Independent).
