Product Description
Review
Daniel M. Kammen and David M. Hassenzahl have written a book that is essentially a well-annotated, comprehensive problem set for coursework or other training in risk assessment. . . . [The authors] note that 'many people who . . . must informally make decisions about risk . . . learn the tools of the trade on the fly.' Should We Risk lt? goes a long way to provide training in problem solving for risk assessment.
(Rebecca A. Efroymson Endeavour )
This book is highly recommended for those who practice risk analysis, and perhaps even more so, for those who earn their living making decisions based on risk analysis. It is especially recommended for anyone who wants to be provoked into thinking about the real world of the environment, health, and technology.
(Jay Turim Risk Analysis )
Should We Risk It?, an exciting new text, explores the nature and the methods of risk analysis through a set of carefully selected, critically analyzed and clearly explained problems. . . . [A] fascinating tour of the field.
(John S. Evans Science )
This is a truly innovative and timely book that addresses the concepts of risk and its management from a problem-solving perspective. . . . It leads the reader step-by-step through many of the dimensions of risk management.
(Simon Gerrard Environment )
Review
Should We Risk It? is a timely and unique book. Its 'hands-on' approach to diverse risk problem-solving and decision-making methods fills a long-existing void. Using real-world problems, it introduces basic and more advanced methods in a clear, evenhanded, and thought-provoking manner. The more people who read it--both those already active in risk policy and those with a general interest--the better we as a society will be ready to cope with increasingly complex risk decisions. This book will improve both risk-based decisions and the associated public discourse.
(William Ruckelshaus, former Administrator of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency )
