We find risk everywhere--from genetically modified crops, medical malpractice, and stem-cell therapy to heartbreak, online predators, identity theft, inflation, and robbery. They arise from our own acts and they are imposed on us. In this Very Short Introduction, Baruch Fischhoff and John Kadvany draw on both the sciences and humanities to illuminate both the similarities and differences of various kinds of risk. Using conceptual frameworks such as decision theory and behavioral decision research, they examine the science and practice of creating measures of risk and look at how scientists apply probability by combining historical records, scientific theories, and expert judgment. Perhaps more important, they show what science has learned about how people deal with risks, applying these lessons to diverse everyday examples, demonstrating how we can move from understanding a risk to making a choice to diminish risk in everyday life.Binding Type: Paperback

Best tablet I’ve owned!
Style: Wi-Fi, Size: 128GB, Color: Blue, Configuration: Without AppleCare+
Fast, beautiful screen, and great battery life. The 11-inch size is the perfect middle ground for portability and productivity. Setup took less than 5 minutes.
I am incredibly impressed with this iPad. The A16 chip makes everything feel snappy, from multitasking to heavy gaming. The Liquid Retina display is vibrant and crisp, making it perfect for streaming videos. Setup was a breeze, and the battery life easily gets me through a full day of use. Highly recommend for students or professionals!
5 stars!

Its Great! Except one tiny detail

Ipad works great, easy to set up and everything transferred from the cloud from a backup I had (thank god because my other ipad is completely dead). Everything is in order except they put the magnets in the wrong spot xD. It doesnt matter functionality wise and I feel its more hassle to exchange than its worth so I am going to keep the iPad. With the case its in it doesnt really matter because theres a spot already for the pen.
4/5 stars
