Paperback. Condizione: New. With COVID-19 comes a heightened sense of everyday risk.

In the past, everyone engaged in some degree of risky behaviour, from mundane realities like taking a shower or getting into a car to purposely thrill-seeking activities like rock-climbing or BASE jumping. Many activities that seemed high-risk, such as flying, were claimed basically safe. But risk was, and always has been, a fact of life.

Mortality is the event-horizon of daily risk. How should we conceive of it.…
