Synopsis
This book provides an interdisciplinary and international characterization of the state of the art and science of risk analysis. Such an analysis is needed to ensure better management of choices concerning environmental, health and technology-based hazards that increasingly affect peoples' lives on an international scale. Including chapters by many of the world's leading risk researchers, this comprehensive work will provide insight into the scope of important social and technical issues that influence risks and their management., This 2004 book provides an interdisciplinary and international characterization of the state of the art and science of risk analysis. Effective risk analysis is needed for better governance and management of choices involving environmental, health and technology-based hazards that increasingly affect the lives of people around the world., This 2004 book views risk analysis as one important basis for informed debate, policy decisions and governance regarding risk issues within societies. Its twelve chapters provide interdisciplinary insights about the fundamental issues in risk analysis for the beginning of a new century. The chapter authors are some of the leading researchers in the broad fields that provide the basis for the risk analysis, including the social, natural, medical, engineering and physical sciences. They address a wide range of issues, including: new perspectives on uncertainty and variability analysis, exposure analysis and the role of precaution, environmental risk and justice, risk valuation and citizen involvement, extreme events, the role of efficiency in risk management, and the assessment and governance of transboundary and global risks. The book will be used as a starting point for discussions at the 2003 First World Congress on Risk, to be held in Brussels.

    The dude responded quickly and shipped it quickly too, I will say I am a little biased considering the fact that NO one else is reselling this and he came out of nowhere with decent pricing and STILL took an offer from me too so I was already fairly pleased before it even arrived. but like I said, quick response and shipping, exactly as described and what was In the pictures brand new, I mean let the picture speak for itself it’s still in the packaging from Youtooz
