Críticas:

"Thirteen papers as well as an introduction provide a summary of the best current thinking about barriers to effective communication... Experts from evolutionary and social science, neuroscience, psychometrics, evolutionary biology, and risk science cover the gamut of issues in the uniformly excellent papers." ( The Quarterly Review of Biology , June 2009)

Reseña del editor:

This volumes comes out of a symposium, sponsored by the Society for Risk Analysis and the National Science Foundation, which explored practical methods and robust theories of risk communication arising from recent research in risk perception, neuroscience, and the evolutionary social sciences. The symposium addressed how humans process and perceive uncertainty and risks. The purpose of the symposium was to synthesize the findings from these diverse fields to inform the development of practical strategies for risk communication.
