Description

Understand how society views danger with The Perception of Risk by Routledge. This book explores the growing concern regarding how modern life presents various dangers and how people cope with them. By bringing together the work of Paul Slovic, a leading analyst in risk perception and management, this text examines the significant gap that often exists between expert technical views and how the general public perceives risk. Presented in a chronological order, the content tracks the evolution of our understanding.
