| BENNETT, P AND CALMAN, K Risk Communication and Public Health 1999. (ISBN: 0192630377) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Controversies about risks to public health regularly hit the news, whether about food safety, environmental issues, medical interventions, or "lifestyle" risks such as drinking. To those trying to manage or regulate risks, public reactions sometimes seem bizarre. To the public, the behaviour of those supposedly "in charge" can seem no less odd. Trust is currently at a premium. This new paperback edition of Risk Communication and Public Health brings together a wide variety of perspectives on risk communication, from the health professions, academia, campaigning organisations, government and its advisory committees, independent consultancies and think tanks. It should be of interest not only to those involved in risk assessment or communication but to anyone interested in the role of science and the media in the political process, and how one bit of "the system" is responding to demands for greater openness and participation. While each chapter is self- contained, the discussion moves progressively through: an introduction to risk communication as a topic of research studies of prominent cases and the lessons to be drawn from them contributions to the wider debate about procedures, power and institutions proposals for promoting "good practice" in risk communication, in Government, the Health Service and elsewhere.

| GRAY, JOHN Black Mass : Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia Pengiun. 2007. (ISBN: 0713999152) Hard Cover, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

From Germany to Russia to China to Afghanistan entire societies were destroyed. Utopian ideologies rejected traditional faiths and claimed to be based in science. They were actually secular versions of the myth of Apocalypse - the belief in a world-changing event that brings history, with all its conflicts, to an end. The war in Iraq was the last of these secular utopias, promising a new era of democracy and producing blood-soaked anarchy and an emerging theocracy instead. "Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia", John Gray's powerful and frightening new book, argues that the death of utopia does not mean peace. Instead it portends the resurgence of ancient myths, now in openly fundamentalist forms. Obscurely mixed with geopolitical struggles for the control of natural resources, apocalyptic religion has returned as a major force in global conflict. As New/As New.
