The book begins with an extended introduction  summarizing the state of the art in risk perception research and core  issues of cross-cultural comparisons. The main body of the book  consists of four cross-cultural studies on public attitudes towards  risk in different countries, including the United States, Australia,  New Zealand, France, Germany, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania, Japan, and  China. The last chapter critically discusses the main findings from  these studies and proposes a framework for understanding and  investigating cross-cultural risk perception. Finally, implications  for communication, regulation and management are outlined. \u003cbr\u003e  The two editors, sociologist Ortwin Renn (Center of Technology  Assessment, Germany) and psychologist Bernd Rohrmann (University of  Melbourne, Australia), have been engaged in risk research for the last  three decades. They both have written extensively on this subject and  provided new empirical and theoretical insights into the growing body  of international risk perception research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781441949615\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441949615\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-4891-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 242\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359147454604,"sku":"9781441949615","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441949615.jpg?v=1755102544","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441949615","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
