Résumé :
|
This book looks at how to judge whether a risk is acceptable or not by addressing an understanding of social and phenomenological considerations rather than simple calculations of probabilities multiplied by unwanted outcomes and thier balancing between costs and benefits. It is argued that the present 'flood management' practice should be largely replaced by the social justice approach here particular attention is given to deciding what is the right thing to do within a much wider context.
