How we handle uncertainty and deal with potential threats influence decision making throughout our lives. In <i>The Risk Society Revisited</i>, Eugene A. Rosa, Ortwin Renn, and Aaron M. McCright offer the first book to present an integrated theory of risk and governance. <P>The authors examine our sociological understanding of risk and how we reconcile modern human conditions with our handling of risk in our quest for improved quality of life. They build a new framework for understanding risk—one that provides an innovative connection between social theory and the governance of technological and environmental risks, and the sociopolitical challenges they pose for a sustainable future. <P>Showing how our consciousness affects risk in the decisions we make—as individuals and as members of a democratic society—<I>The Risk Society Revisited</I> makes an important contribution to the literature of risk research. <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>Eugene A.
