RISK by Roy Boyne
Explores issues such as the measurement of risk in its social context, the idea that the mass media or the political opposition always exaggerate risk, and the notion that the advice of the expert is the best we can get as far as risks are concerned.
Roy Boyne is Professor of Sociology and Vice-Provost of the Stockton Campus at the University of Durham. He has been teaching, researching and publishing in the field of risk for some years, most recently in association with Ulrich Beck. He also writes on French Philosophy and on European cinema. His previous book, Subject Society and Culture (2001), explored some of the representations of the contemporary human subject within social theory, art and cinema.
