It is now sociological common sense to declare that, in everyday
life, large numbers of people approach matters of work, family
life, trust and friendship with 'risk' constantly in mind - this
book, the first multidisciplinary approach to risk, provides an
introductory overview of this phenomenon. Iain Wilkinson outlines
contrasting sociological theories of risk, and summarizes some of
the principle discoveries of empirical research conducted into the
ways people perceive, experience and respond to a world of danger.
It also examines some of the moral concerns and political interests
that feature in this area of study. Designed to equip readers not
only with the sociological means to debate the human consequences
of our contemporary culture of risk, but also, with the critical
resources to evaluate the significance this holds for current
sociology, this book provides a perfectly pitched undergraduate
introduction to the topic.
