Risk and Everyday Life examines how people respond to, experience and think about risk as part of their everyday lives. Drawing on the work of key theorists such as Ulrich Beck; Scott Lash; Mary Douglas; the authors examine and critique theories of risk in the light of their own research and present case studies which show how notions of risk interact with day-to-day concerns.
