This volume contains peer-reviewed papers and case studies derived from invited papers presented at the Workshop "Science for Reduction of Risk and Sustainable Development of Society", which was held in Budapest on June 15-16, 2002. These contributions address two key problems: (i) natural, technological and environmental risks, risk prevention and sustainable development, and (ii) science, risk and society. The papers provide an invaluable insight, and archival record of the relationship between risk, science, and society in a world that has become more turbulent since the tragic events of 11 September 2001. This book presents papers from scientists, policy makers, and practitioners on the topics of risk, sustainability, science, and society and is of value for natural and social scientists, teachers, students, economists, and politicians. It is also useful for authorities responsible for public safety, risk management, and risk mitigation plans, and for insurance companies.
The special pre-publication price is EUR 38 for a paperback copy.
