Review
'A very practical and realistic publication.' Chemical and Engineering News 'Could form the basis for a course in risk analysis. Little mathematical background is required, and each paper is followed by a set of questions for discussion. . . An excellent text to teach from.' American Scientist 'Compiles the seminal essays on risk issues. . . presented in a convenient, objective, simple, and stimulating manner. . . . Its organization, selection of papers, and concise but provocative introductory essays make it an understandable and desirable resource for a nontechnical audience. . . . Has its greatest value as a classroom tool.' Environmental Science and Technology
