""Anxiety in a Risk Society is an attempt to uncover the meaning
behind the terms "risk" and "anxiety" by thoroughly reviewing the
literature in these areas. Sociologists interested in the meaning
of modern anxiety will find the book useful, as will those who are
concerned that the risks of contemporary society are creating a
highly charged environment leading to social unrest.."
