I was in a pilot "Software Safety" course last year and this book was published just after, but was an excellent companion text for the course. I've been meaning to follow up with them to see what became of that work (the pilot course, my employers at the time were considering making it a mandatory/highly-recommended course for most of their software engineers and designers).
