Free Books – 66 Downloads for Tackling Risk

Free Books – 66 Downloads for Tackling Risk

imageThe following books are all for free download and are the most helpful in learning how to tackle risk. Many are recommended in a study the Social Psychology of Risk .

In SPoR we tend to find that book framed by the word ‘safety’ are generally mis-educative in tackling risk.

The best way to envision risk and the future of risk is to read across the Disciplines in a Transdisciplinary approach. In this way we step outside of the confines of Safety, Scientism, Engineering and Stasis and seeks new horizons in envisioning new ways of tackling risk.
