Uncertainty and Risk

Uncertainty and Risk by Gabriele Bammer

Uncertainty governs our lives. This title examines uncertainty in emergency management, intelligence, law enforcement, music, policy and politics. It focuses on key problems such as environmental management, communicable diseases and illicit drugs. It offers major conceptual strands in uncertainty thinking.

'The book takes [a] broad view, looking at uncertainty in religion, philosophy, visual art, and musical improvisation, as well as more often-explored fields'
Natural Hazards Observer

'[t]he most comprehensive book that I have seen in this field to date, both in terms of the sheer breadth and depth of the various chapters, and the diverse backgrounds and experience of the authors. This book definitely broadens the scope of how one looks at and perceives the issues of uncertainty and risk after reading it ... fresh perspectives that would not ordinarily be seen are uncovered for the reader.'
Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management

'This book provides the widest coverage of the subject of uncertainty hitherto known in the literature...it is an excellent reatise on the subject and the reviewer would recommend to one and all'
Krishna B. Misra, International Journal of Performability Engineering
