Risk: A Very Short Introduction - Very Short Introductions
Fischhoff, Baruch (Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University)
Risk is everywhere - from genetically modified crops, dams, and stem-cell therapy to heartbreak, online predators, inflation, and robbery. This Very Short Introduction examines what science has learned about how people deal with risks, what we can learn through decision theory, and how we can evaluate risk in our own lives.
