Hence, through a series of essays, the book aims to challenge the current ways in which risk-problems are approached and presented, both conceptually by academics and through the framings that are encoded in the technologies and socio-political and institutional practices used to manage risk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addressing these questions, the book does not attempt to offer a model of how risk research 'should' be done. Rather, the book provides, through illustration, a challenge to the ways in which risk research is framed as 'problem-solving.' The book's ultimate objective aims to increase critical debate between different disciplines, approaches, concepts and problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley-Blackwell\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-04-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780470974872\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 251.5cm x175.3cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 256.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44348250849420,"sku":"9780470974872","price":98.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470974872_e6e77c93-7445-4391-a889-3d0ac9cdf02f.jpg?v=1767699452","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470974872","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
