Uncertainty and Risk: Multidisciplinary
Perspectives
Edited
by Gabriele Bammer and Michael Smithson
‘This is a major, and
deeply thoughtful, contribution to understanding uncertainty and risk. Our
world and its unprecedented challenges need such ways of thinking! Much more
than a set of contributions from different disciplines, this book leads you to
explore your own way of perceiving your own area of work. An outstanding
contribution that will stay on my shelves for many years.’
Dr Neil T. M. Hamilton,
Director, WWF International Arctic Programme
‘This comprehensive
collection of disciplinary perspectives on uncertainty is a definitive guide to
contemporary insights into this Achilles’ heel of modernity and the
endemic hubris of institutional science in its role as public authority. It
gives firm foundations to the fundamental historic shift now underway in the
world, towards normalizing acceptance of the immanent condition of ignorance
and of its practical corollaries: contingency, uncontrol, and respect for
difference.’
Brian Wynne, Professor of Science Studies,
Lancaster University

Steve Morgan, Founder and Chief Executive

important tool for species protection on lands that may otherwise be lost to
