Risk and Responsibility

"No one ever said that risk management was easy. Leiss and Chociolko convincingly argue that the technical approach to resolving risk conflicts should be replaced by processes that lead risk promoters and risk avoiders away from the battlefield and toward the negotiating table. This important and insightful book should be read by everyone with an interest in making better decisions in the face of risk." Paul Slovic, Decision Research "Pathbreaking in its coherence and argument ... it provides an excellent overview of the dimensions of the problem of risk ... the case studies ... are anchored in an overview that makes sense on a practical level and is strong in terms of the scholarly literature ... The contributions to the literature are many-fold, the writing lucid, and the arguments persuasive." Liora Salter, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University.
