Risk-Informed Information Practice

Ways of Knowing in an Uncertain World

Beschreibung

How do people become informed about risk and why is this important? This book draws upon three case studies to interrogate risk's informational thread, including how people map and orient themselves to risk information as well as how these activities shape their increasingly knowledgeable performance within a risk situation.
