Hardcover. Crossing the road, sitting next to someone on the subway who might have a virus, or going out at night alone, we are surrounded by hidden risks. Running The Risk delves into the fabric of our daily existence, posing crucial questions about the risks we face, what we need to know about them, and what we can do to engineer a safer, more resilient future.From the roots of the concept of risk to new threats brought by climate change, each chapter unfolds a captivating narrative, weaving together major historical incidents and topical news events. Explore the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and how it transformed the way we prepare for disasters. Travel to Fukushima and witness the importance of listening to our ancestors. Uncover the way coastal communities are adapting to rising sea levels in Indonesia.
