Recent events from the economic downturn to climate change mean
that there has never been a better time to be thinking about and
trying to better understand the concept of risk. In this book,
prominent and eminent speakers from fields as diverse as statistics
to classics, neuroscience to criminology, politics to astronomy, as
well as speakers embedded in the media and in government, have put
their ideas down on paper in a series of essays that broaden our
understanding of the meaning of risk. The essays come from the
prestigious Darwin College Lecture Series which, after twenty-five
years, is one of the most popular public lecture series at the
University of Cambridge. The risk lectures in 2010 were amongst the
most popular yet and, in essay form, they make for a lively and
engaging read for specialists and non-specialists alike.
