Description: Technological Risk: What Are the Real Dangers, If Any, of Toxic Chemicals, the Greenhouse Effect, Microwave Radiation, Nuclear Power, Air by H.W. Lewis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Balanced, sensible, down-to-earth. . . . Should be read by anyone concerned about toxic chemicals, the Greenhouse Effect, nuclear waste, and other similarly evil accompaniments of present-day civilization".—Barry Gewen, New Republic. Publisher Description Risks seem to abound in our everyday lives, especially the risks flowing from the explosion of our modern technology, with its pesticides, pollution, nuclear power, microwave radiation and chemical trace elements in food of all kinds. Two questions face all of us: how real are these risks and, if real, how do we manage our lives in order to avoid personal damage from them? The book examines these questions, delving into the nature and true seriousness of risk (as opposed to how bad the risk seems to be), into how we measure risk and how we regulate it. Lewis includes the latest scientific information on carcinogens and the greenhouse effect as well as detailed discussion of road safety, the risk of air travel, nuclear power and acid rain. Author Biography H. W. Lewis is a professor of physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has chaired numerous government risk-assessment committees on defense, nuclear power, and other matters.
