Beschreibung:
Risks in Technological Systems is an interdisciplinary university textbook and a book for the educated reader on the risks of today's society. In order to understand and analyse risks associated with the engineering systems on which modern society relies, other concerns have to be addressed, besides technical aspects. In contrast to many academic textbooks dealing with technological risks, this book has a unique interdisciplinary character that presents technological risks in their own context.
Provides a broad and uniquely interdisciplinary introduction to risk in technological systems
