Risk communication and public health

"Risk communication and public health brings together a wide variety of perspectives on risk communication, from the health professions, campaigning organizations, government and its advisory committees, academia, consultancies, and think tanks. The book should be of interest not only to those involved in risk assessment and risk communication but also to anyone interested in the role of science and the media in the political process, and how one bit of the 'system' is responding to demands for greater openness and participation."--Jacket.
