Description

Is it safe? "What are the risks involved?" are questions frequently asked by members of the public.

This unique book explains the fundamental problems faced in modern-day life.

Terms such as "risk" and "safe" are clearly defined, and the risks encountered between birth and death are discussed, including transport, the home, healthcare, diet, and the workplace.

The perception of risk, and the risks from radiation (natural, radwaste and nuclear reactors) are covered, along with management of risk and the psychology of risk perception.

What is Safe? The Risks of Living in a Nuclear Age is illustrated with examples from the most deeply researched areas.

Written for the lay-person, the volume also includes a complete reprint of the late Lord Walter Marshall's famous lecture "The Radioactive Garden".

It will be of interest to students, teachers, researchers, industrialists or indeed anyone wishing for an up-to-date view of risk and safety.
