Reviews

Lays a foundation for the detailed study of risk by theoretical sociologists, who have not, so far, taken more than a superficial interest in the subject. Suggests that risk is a projection of future consequences onto present decision making, and that the gap has been widening between decision makers and those who are subject to the consequences of decisions they are excluded from. Translated from the 1991 German edition. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
