Risk, Vulnerability and Everyday Life by Iain Wilkinson
Providing an overview and commentary on ways in which sociologists seek to understand the 'risk society', this book equips readers with the means to debate human consequences, and the critical resources to evaluate their significance.
'The modern world is a risky world, whether crossing the street or taking a bath, and people forget the risks in their world at their perilThey should recognize that risk surrounds them and learn how to deal with it. Wilkinson issues a call for both contemplation and action, and sociologists should take note of both. Summing Up: Recommended.' – Choice, June 2010
