The contributors look at risk and how perceptions of risk, risk taking, and risk assessment increasingly dominate our everyday lives. They explore it in a variety of settings not previously associated with risk theory, including plastic surgery, teenage sub-cultures, ageing, and independent travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume moves risk away from abstract theorising about what people may or may not fear about risks, to focus on how it actually materialises and operates in everyday 'real' social interactions and contexts. It also interrogates the rational self at the heart of macro social theories by thinking through the construction of risk choices and the socio-cultural dynamics that 'present' some risks as acceptable, appropriate, and necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607519838444,"sku":"9780754648611","price":353.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780754648611-risks-identities-and-the-everyday.jpg?v=1778169686"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/julie-scott-jones.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
