Explains risk and how perceptions of risk, risk taking, and risk assessment dominate our everyday lives and explores it in a variety of settings. This book interrogates the rational self at the heart of social theories by thinking through the construction of risk choices and the socio-cultural dynamics that 'present' some risks as acceptable.
