A web search suggests that the book is based on a limited study and has little ‘error’ content. The author appears to be a First Officer flying the A319.
The study could be based on his
Masters dissertation. Here a conclusion indicates that pilots have to take control of their learning environment and use self-study as the basis for understanding the aircraft. This might leave open to error how a student will gain contextual understanding of the manufacturer’s automation philosophy and gain tacit knowledge – the know how of using automation.
Although of interest, the study may be a low-weight contribution on automation in comparison with the references below, which consider some aspects of human error.
Humans and Automation, Use, Misuse, and Abuse.
A Model for Types and Levels of Human Interaction with Automation.
For a good introduction to human error, see
Human Error, models and management (J Reason).

Limiting the unsafe act is akin to avoidance of error (the act) or error promoting situations (awareness) which might be strategic activities such as in improved planning, decision making.
Another aspect is the elimination of error promoting situations through the use of good design, procedures, etc.
The more forward thinking aspects include acceptance that humans suffer error and thus it is important to detect and recover from the result, and then learn from the experience.
