Catastrophe

by Richard A Posner

This is a book by a Chicago judge where he tries to explain what catastrophes are, why they are important and what are the outstanding issues that we need to resolve about them. The book shows that in many ways we respond to catastrophic risks in what the author believes to be an irrational way.
