This handbook describes the broad aspects of risk management
involving scientific policy judgment, uncertainty analysis,
perception considerations, statistical insights, and strategic
thinking. This book presents all the important concepts to enable
the reader to "see the big picture." This ability is extremely
important - it allows the decision maker or strategic environmental
planner to understand and cope with a wide variety of complex and
interlinked pieces of information and data.
The text presents environmental problems and, whenever applicable,
the methodology required to reach a successful solution. Decisions
and policies are examined. The book covers numerous objective and
subjective components of environmental risk decision making. It
details quantitative and comparative risk, and investigates the
cost and feasibility of different decisions. Social pressures,
safety, and political, religious, ethical, and psychological issues
are addressed. How to evaluate the potential impact on the quality
of life also is discussed.
Any company doing risk assessment, risk management, or risk
communication, as well as those doing environmental decision making
will find this reference to be invaluable. It is also suitable as a
text for courses in environmental management, environmental
science, and risk assessment in the areas of risk management and
strategic environmental planning.
