Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by
Peter L. Bernstein
"A comprehensive history of man's efforts to
understand risk and probability, from ancient
gamblers in Greece to modern chaos theory."--The
Washington Post Book World.
Embracing Risk: The Changing Culture of Insurance
and Responsibility by
Tom Baker (Editor), Jonathan Simon
Embracing Risk explores this new approach from a
variety of perspectives. The first part of the book
focuses on the interplay between risk and insurance
in various historical and social contexts. The
second part examines how risk is used to govern
fields outside the realm of insurance, from extreme
sports to policing, mental health institutions, and
international law. Offering an original approach to
risk, insurance, and responsibility, the provocative
and wide-ranging essays in Embracing Risk
demonstrate that risk has moved well beyond its
origins in the insurance trade to become a central
organizing principle of social and cultural life.
