ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Dominic Golding is a fellow in the Center for Risk Management at Resources for the Future. He received his Ph.D in geography from Clark University where his research focused on occupational hazards and the social issues of risk assessment and risk management, especially with regard to nuclear power. His current research interests include the history and development of risk research, environmental equity, risk communication, and the evaluation of risk burdens in individual communities. Golding is also the author of The Differential Susceptibility of Workers to Occupational Hazards: A Comparison of Policies in Sweden, Britain, and the United States (1989) and contributing coeditor of Social Theories of Risk (1992).

Jeanne X. Kasperson is Research Librarian and Director of Publications at the George Perkins Marsh Institute at Clark University and senior Research Associate at the Alan Shawn Feinstein World Hunger Program at Brown University. Her recent research includes work on the social amplification of risk, risk communication, risk signals in the media, corporate culture, world hunger, and global environmental change. She currently serves on the editorial boards of Environment and Risk Abstracts and is book review editor for the latter. She is a contributing coeditor of Water Re-Use and the Cities (1977), Risk in the Technological Society (1982), Perilous Progress (1985), Nuclear Risk in Comparative Perspective (1987), and Corporate Management of Health and Safety Hazards (1988).

Roger E. Kasperson, who holds his Ph.D. from The University of Chicago, is coauthor or contributing coeditor of Water Re-Use and the Cities, (1977), Equity Issues in Radioactive Waste Management (1985), Nuclear Risk Analysts in Comparative Perspective (1987), Corporate Management of Health and Safety Hazards (1988), Risk Communication: Proceedings of the International Workshop on Risk Communication, October 17-21, 1988 (1989), and Communicating Risks to the Public (1991). He has written widely on issues connected with technological hazards, risk communication, radioactive wastes, and global environmental change. His current research projects deal with the risk and social impacts associated with the siting of hazardous waste facilities, evaluation of risk-communication programs, global environmental change, and critical environmental zones.

Robert Goble is a Research Professor in Environment, Technology and Society at Clark University and a senior researcher at the Center for Technology, Environment, and Development (CENTED). He holds a Ph.D. in elementary particle physics, and for the past fifteen years he has conducted research and taught in the general areas of energy systems and policy, air quality (including indoor air quality), nuclear safety, and risk assessment. He has written and testifies extensively on nuclear economics, accident consequences, radioactive waste disposal, and nuclear accident emergency-planning efforts in the United States and Canada. His present research is on risk-assessment methodologies and on responses to the threat of global warming.
