Overview: Public experience with risk communication differs greatly fromcountry to country in Europe and there has been little opportunity forthe transfer of experience and learning between countries. This isespecially true for the many new European States, including thecountries in transition from centralised to market economies. .This book presents case studies on risk communication. One of itsunifying concepts is the role of risk communication in the riskmanagement process. Technical and philosophical introductions to riskcommunication and risk management and research in risk communicationa

Overview: The study of coelenterates is now one of the most active fields of invertebrate zoology. There are many reasons for this, and not everyone would agree on them, but certain facts stand out fairly clearly. One of them is that many of the people who study coelenterates do so simply because they are interested in the animals for their own sake. This, however, would be true for other invertebrate groups and cannot by itself explain the current boom in coelenterate work. The main reasons for all this activity seem to lie in the considerable concentration of research effort and funding into

Overview: Deals with a topical and contentious issue: reluctant participation in coalition warfare.Analyses an issue where present research is limited: national reservations on the use of force, which reduces tThis book develops a framework for analysis, and a set of research strategies, to better understand the conditions and mechanisms involved in the considerable use of caveats by states contributing militarily to coalition operations. In the professional language of military servicemen, security analysts and decision-makers, “caveats” refers to the reservations on the use of force states p

What is it the relation between ascribing mental states to an organism and understanding its behavior? Are animals and complex systems vehicles of inner evolutionary environments? Is there a difference between personal and sub-personal level processes in the brain? Answers to these and other questions were dev

Overview: Interest in sociological study of the body, theoretically and empirically, has increased dramatically in the 1990s.
