Handbook of System Safety and Security

Dedication

I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.

Pablo Neruda

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Henry David Thoreau

For my wife, Mariela, who is a constant reminder that precision and righteousness go hand and hand.
