Hyping Health Risks: Environmental Hazards in Daily Life and the Science of Epidemiology
Geoffrey C Kabat
The media constantly bombard us with news of the health hazards that lurk in our everyday lives. But, many of these hazards, even some that provoke regulatory action, have been greatly overblown. This book examines the forces that contribute to health scares and economic, political, and psychological consequences of their "social amplification."
