It was widely acclaimed as perceptive and prophetic. Now Furedi returns to his original theme, as most of what he predicted has come true. In How Fear Works, Furedi seeks to explain two interrelated themes: why has fear acquired such a morally commanding status in society today and how has the way we fear today changed from the way that it was experienced in the past?"--Jacket Fear Social aspects Fear Political aspects Risk Sociological aspects Risk perception Social aspects Social problems Psychological aspects Social history 21st century local 4 Print books. ebook version : 9781472947710 lcc BOOKS 0 0 lcc 0 0 AU AU GEN 2020-01-01 0 HM1101 .F844 2018 AU00000000015386 2020-01-01 00:00:00 200.00 2020-01-01 BOOKS
