Items related to Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures
Through a series of nine wonderfully rich portraits, Polly Morland takes us on a journey through the world of risk, looking not at the extremes or exceptions, but at the routine risks we accept and embrace as part of our everyday lives, often unconsciously. The stories in Risk Wise address fundamental questions about risk and our perceptions about risk-taking. It argues that being risk wise—the ability to understand and accept risk as a force for good—is an essential part of the human experience and a route to living a full and rewarding life.

Review:
A great project ... through the variety of interesting stories, we see the colour and sophistication of people's reasoning. -- Michael Blastland * BBC Focus * Morland's brisk and thought-inducing book takes a forensic look at nine examples of modern risk, and on the way delivers acute and entertaining insights ... absorbing ... This is altogether a delightful book. A dose of measured sanity in an often dotty world. It should be required reading for the next education secretary, and I shall give it to all the parents in my family. -- Sally Vickers * Observer *
