  • Gebundenes Buch

This book addresses the divide among scientists and lay people, taking a social constructionist approach to foster discussion on how people evaluate evidence, how science is conducted, and how risk perception can bridge the gap between scientific experts and lay people to inform policy decisions. While the book is firmly located in the social sciences literature on risk, it also takes a multi-disciplinary approach by incorporating arguments made by physical and biological scientists.
