Risk by John Adams

This work aims to bring the multifarious field of risk studies sharply into focus in a readable way for a wide readership throughout the social sciences and beyond.

"Extremely counterintuitive..stimulating and rewarding." Nature

"This book is to make one pause and take stock. He (the author) has a wonderfully irreverant style, dissecting phony argument and phoney statistics with an enviable ease, humour and self-deprecation." Transactions of the IBG

"Having read it, none of us should ever again look at transport issues in the same way...this is why his (the author's) book deserves to be read, not just by geographers but by the whole community of transport planners and policy makers." Journal of Transport Geography

John Adams is an Emeritus Professor in the Geography Department at University College London, and theorist on risk compensation.
