I’d love to have a look at your new book! It looks great. Shoot me an email and I’ll send you the address where I receive review copies.

If you are interested in risk perception from more than Barry’s pop culture sociology view, you might want to read “How Risky Is It, Really? Why Our Fears Don’t Always Match the Facts.” Risk perception has actually been well-studied by a number of diverse fields, from neuroscience to anthropology, psychology, economics…and the answers are far more profound than Culture of Fear comes close to. and if you do check it out, as the author, I’d love to know what you think.
