[Frederick Bingham · Rating 2 out of 5]

A book about risk and its role in public issues. Published in the mid-1990's. It talks about such things as AIDS, cancer, the lottery, seconhand smoke, airbags, etc. It was a little bit dated, and a little too detailed for my taste, although it did have some interesting parts.
