| 520 | |a "Risk" is a capacious term used to describe the uncertainties that arise from physical, financial, political, and social activities. Practically everything we do carries some level of risk - threats to our bodies, property, and animals. How do we determine when the risk is too high? In considering this question, the author offers a thought-provoking study of danger and how people have managed it from pre-industrial and industrial America up to the twenty-first century. The author outlines a vernacular risk culture in early America, one based on ordinary experience and common sense. The rise of factories and machinery eventually led to shocking accidents, which, she explains, risk-management experts and the "gospel of safety" sought to counter. Finally, this book examines the simultaneous blossoming of risk-taking as fun and the aggressive regulations that have arisen from the consumer-products-safety movement. -- Publisher's website. | ||
