Identifying, assessing and managing risks is correspondingly increasingly important for many professionals, for policy makers and for students and researchers in social and environmental sciences. This volume brings together seminal contributions on risk analysis, accompanied by an extensive editorial introduction laying out the issues for different areas of risk research and a framework for interpreting them. It will be an essential sourcebook for all those working in the area.
