Risk: An Introduction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780745640990)

"Written in a clear and accessible language, this book gives a balanced account of the many theoretical approaches taken to the diverse phenomenon of risk, using concrete examples to illustrate abstract points. It highlights some key themes such as uncertainty and individual responsibility, which emerge as common to different theories and fields of study. The book is perfectly suited as an introduction for new students in sociology, political science, anthropology, media studies and health studies." --Book Jacket.
