Es gehört zu den genetisch und sozial verankerten Grundbedürfnissen des Menschen, sich vor Risiken zu schützen. In der modernen Welt drohen uns nicht nur Naturkatastrophen, sondern auch eine Vielzahl von selbst gemachten Gefahren: Atomenergie, chemische Industrie, Hormone, Medikamente usw. können uns das Leben erleichtern und Schmerzen lindern, besitzen aber auch das Potenzial, großes Unheil anzurichten. Doch wie funktioniert die Wahrnehmung von Risiken in der Öffentlichkeit? Risikoforscher und Psychologe Paul Slovic hat in seinem Buch 26 Fachbeiträge zum Thema Risikowahrnehmung versammelt: Die Autoren spüren dabei vor allem dem Unterschied in der Wahrnehmung von Risiken bei Experten und wissenschaftlichen Laien nach. Die einzelnen Artikel verstehen sich als Zusammenfassungen einschlägiger (meist amerikanischer) Studien zum Thema. Die Interpretation der Ergebnisse überlassen die Autoren zumeist den Verantwortlichen in Politik und Wissenschaft. Keine Lektüre für zwischendurch, sondern Fachwissen pur, meinen wir und empfehlen dieses Buch vor allem Politikern, Sozialwissenschaftlern und Versicherungsmanagern.

The concept of risk is an outgrowth of our society's great concern about coping with the dangers of modern life. The Perception of Risk brings together the work of Paul Slovic, one of the world's leading analysts of risk, risk perception and risk management, to examine the gap between expert views of risk and public perceptions. Ordered chronologically, it allows the reader to see the evolution of our understanding of such perceptions, from early studies identifying public misconceptions of risk to recent work that recognizes the importance and legitimacy of equity, trust, power and other value-laden issues underlying public concern.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
