520    Understanding Risk addresses a central dilemma of risk 
       decisionmaking in a democracy: detailed scientific and 
       technical information is essential for making decisions, 
       but the people who make and live with those decisions are 
       not scientists. The key task of risk characterization is 
       to provide needed and appropriate information to 
       decisionmakers and the public. This important new volume 
       illustrates that making risks understandable to the public
       involves much more than translating scientific knowledge. 
       The volume also draws conclusions about what society 
       should expect from risk characterization and offers clear 
       guidelines and principles for informing the wide variety 
       of risk decisions that face our increasingly technological
       society. Understanding Risk (1) frames fundamental 
       questions about what risk characterization means; (2) 
       reviews traditional definitions and explores new 
       conceptual and practical approaches; (3) explores how risk
       characterization should inform decisionmakers and the 
       public; and, (4) Looks at risk characterization in the 
       context of the entire decisionmaking process. 
       Understanding Risk discusses how risk characterization has
       fallen short in many recent controversial decisions. 
       Throughout the text, examples and case studies--such as 
       planning for the long-term ecological health of the 
       Everglades or deciding on the operation of a waste 
       incinerator--bring key concepts to life. Understanding 
       Risk will be important to anyone involved in risk issues: 
       federal, state, and local policymakers and regulators; 
       risk managers; scientists; industrialists; researchers; 
       and concerned individuals.
