About this book
The author recommends a simple yet profound alternative to 'risk assessment': 'alternatives assessment'. Instead of asking how much of a hazardous activity is safe (which translates into how much damage the environment can tolerate), alternatives assessment asks how we can avoid or minimize damage while achieving society's goals.
