Description

Explore the evolving landscape of modern social theory with Risk and Technological Culture: Towards a Sociology of Virulence.

It provides a critical analysis of major theoretical frameworks, moving from the foundational concepts of Ulrich Beck to the modern perspectives of Anthony Giddens and Scott Lash.
