<br/><br/> Written in straightforward English this excellent book sets risks in context and shows that media hype should be treated with a healthy degree of skepticism. Includes an explanation of the role of fear in human survival, considers how this instinct can be manipulated, looks at relative risks, and shows how the media uses fear to grab attention for news reports and how some of these reports themselves contribute to the risks.
