We have undertaken this volume in the belief that there is now
sufficient research completed on environmental risk to justify a
retrospective assessment of what is known. Our authors and our
intended audience are eclectic indeed. Environ mental risk
assessment receives increasing attention in the media today. The
populace is practically assaulted with stories, with anecdotes, and
with conflicting evidence. It is our hope that these chapters will
provide the reader with a comprehensive glimpse of a fast-growing
field in public policy. No complete survey of the literature would
be possible or meaningful. We offer here instead the integrative
thoughts of some of the most respected analysts in the field. We
believe that the coverage is coherent, the perspectives are
illuminating, and the individual "treatments deserving of careful
study. We are grateful to Warren Samuels of Michigan State
University who is editor of the Kluwer series on recent economic
thought. We are also grateful to our Kluwer editor, Zach Rolnik.
Both have been gracious in their toleration of unconscionable
delays. IX The Social Response to Environmental Risk Policy
