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

Puppy's favourite, but not built to last.
My puppy absolutely adores this tug-of-war ball! However, I have to mention the durability—it started fraying after just a few days of use. While it’s still usable, the material doesn’t hold up well to enthusiastic chewing and tugging. If your pup is a strong chewer, this might not last long.
That said, for the price and the joy it brings my puppy, I’d still consider buying it again—just with the expectation that it’s more of a short-term toy. Great for light play, but not built for heavy-duty tug sessions.
