Risk and Responsibility
ISBN: 9780773511774 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. William Leiss and Christina Chociolko explain that controversies arise in part because many participants try to avoid assuming full responsibility for the consequences of the risk-taking they advocate. For example, one can indulge in the pleasure of nicotine addiction despite an awareness of the health risks and count on a publicly funded health care system to assume the responsibility for dealing with the resulting illnesses. They provide detailed case studies of the controversies over the effects of exposure to power frequency electric and magnetic fields and to the chemical pesticides alar...

Deep Disposal: A Documentary Account of Burying Nuclear Waste in Canada
ISBN: 9780228022824 / Angielski / Miękka / 2024 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Canada is one of many countries around the world that use nuclear reactors to generate electrical power, in part to reduce our carbon footprint. Yet this energy produces hazardous, long-lived waste that emits dangerous radioactivity for tens of thousands of years. Nuclear waste, stored temporarily for decades, must be safely disposed of so it will not pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. This means placing it in locations deep underground in granite, sedimentary rock, or clay. Canada’s ideal location is somewhere on the Canadian Shield, the...

Under Technology's Thumb
ISBN: 9780773507241 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the introduction: "Standing at the threshold of modern times, Francis Bacon saw in experimental science and technological innovation the keys to humanity's future. Human history to that point, he thought, was an endlessly repeated cycle of despair and false hopes. The false hopes were fed by the old illusion that a few cheap tricks and the right magical formulas would unlock nature's treasury where unlimited wealth and power lay. The despair arose from humanity's seeming inability to escape from subjection to the natural forces that periodically visited famine, disease, pestilence, and...

The Doom Loop in the Financial Sector: And Other Black Holes of Risk
ISBN: 9780776607382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the past two years, the world has experienced how unsound economic practices can disrupt global economic and social order. Today's volatile global financial situation highlights the importance of managing risk and the consequences of poor decision making. The Doom Loop in the Financial Sector reveals an underlying paradox of risk management: the better we become at assessing risks, the more we feel comfortable taking them. Using the current financial crisis as a case study, renowned risk expert William Leiss engages with the new concept of "black hole risk" -- risk so...

In the Chamber of Risks: Understanding Risk Controversies
ISBN: 9780773522466 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The essential problem is the failure to recognize that controversies over risks are "normal events" in modern society and as such will be with us for the foreseeable future. Three key propositions define these events: risk management decisions are inherently disputable; public perceptions of risk are legitimate and should be treated as such; the public needs to be intensively involved in the processes of risk evaluation and management. Leiss and his collaborators chronicle these organizational risks in a set of detailed case studies on genetically modified foods, cellular telephones, the...

C.B. Macpherson : Dilemmas of Liberalism and Socialism, Second Edition
ISBN: 9780773535671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on two key themes - property and the state - Leiss tracks Macpherson's analysis of the contradictions of liberal-democracy through all of his writings, beginning with his 1935 M.A. thesis supervised by Harold Laski at LSE. His concluding chapter critically examines the core of Macpherson's political philosophy - the distinction between extractive and developmental powers - against the background of social change in the democracies of the West in the period since the end of the Second World War. A new preface by the author reviews books and articles on Macpherson published in the...

The Limits to Satisfaction: An Essay on the Problem of Needs and Commodities
ISBN: 9780773506886 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Consumerism and capitalist and socialist industry have reached the point where state power is legitimatized by its ability to increase the number of commodities. A unique culture has been created in which marketing is the main social bond. Values no longer shape and condition needs, wants, desires, or preferences. Leiss draws on economics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology to show the vagueness of our thought on the relation between nature and culture, desire and reason, needs and commodities. This book raises serious, vital questions for all those concerned about the future of our...

Mad Cows and Mother's Milk: The Perils of Poor Risk Communication
ISBN: 9780773516182 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first case study deals with the mad cow fiasco of 1996, one of the most expensive and tragic examples of poor risk management in the last twenty-five years. For ten years the British government failed to acknowledge the possibility of a link between mad cow disease and Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease, the human equivalent, until increased scientific evidence and public pressure forced them to take action, resulting in the slaughter of more than one million cattle. The second study looks at what is commonly known as hamburger disease, caused by a virulent form of the E. coli bacterium, which has...

Mad Cows and Mother's Milk
ISBN: 9780773516199 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Communicating the nature and consequences of environmental and health risks is one of the most problematic areas of public policy in Western democracies. Given the perceived risks associated with the food we eat, chemicals in the environment, and modern technologies, consumers need clear and timely explanations of the nature of those risks - but they rarely get them. Using a series of case studies, Douglas Powell and William Leiss outline the crucial role of risk management in dealing with public controversies and analyse risk communication practice and malpractice to provide a set of lessons...
