Description / Table of Contents:
Drawing on a wide range of case studies, Greenberg illustrates the ways in which risk analysis can help lead to better decisions in a variety of different scenarios, including the destruction of chemical weapons, management of nuclear waste and the response to passenger rail threats. The book demonstrates how the risk analysis process and the data, models and processes used in risk analysis will clarify, rather than obfuscate, decision-makers' options. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of risk assessment, risk management, public health, environmental science, environmental economics and environmental psychology.
