pertinent.

risk
Edited by ragnar lofstedt, King’s College
London, UK and frederic bouder, Assistant
Professor, Department of Technology and Society
Studies, Maastricht University
Series: Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences
The collection conveys essential lessons about how
risks can be better assessed. Sophisticated models
about the probability and magnitude of harms have
been developed and tested in a variety of fields. The
materials gathered here also help us to understand
how powerful perception drivers shape our views of different risks and, as a
consequence, how risk communication may be best conducted. Risk also brings
together and makes sense of a body of knowledge that has allowed the
development of specific methods to join together these two crucial elements into a
coherent management ‘whole’.
