Flood Risk : The Holistic Perspective
According to the International Disaster Database (EM-DAT), over the last seventy years, floods have shown the fastest rate of increase relative to any other type of disasters.Devastation due to these events occurs almost daily.Even though our technological capabilities for dealing with floods have advanced rapidly over the same period, and while global economic growth per capita has doubled, flood events have become ever more disastrous.Does this mean that our technological developments have advanced independently from the social and wider ecological needs?Flood Risk: The Holistic Perspective is a direct response to this question and it argues that this paradoxical situation is a result from our narrow and fragmented perception of reality which has been characteristic of our academic disciplines and government agencies.It suggests that the way forward can be found only if we broaden our view and learn how the natural or social phenomena can provoke a response in a society, or a social group, which in turn can trigger the technical developments, and so on, again and again, in what has the potential to become a network of interactions and relationships through positive feedback (or coevolving) cycles.The holistic perspective however may raise the following question: If everything is connected to everything else, how can we ever hope to understand anything?Our response draws from the understandings brought by complexity theory where individual elements coevolve together both in development and application.This recognition opens a new analysis which goes beyond the direct objects or actors of concern (risk forecasting, early warning, land-use planning technology and systems for example), and into the relationships between them.The book suggests that our initial response to this and many other challenges is to change our perception from a disciplinary and defensive one to a progressive (or transcendental) and transdiciplinary, i.e., the one that turns challenges into the possibilities that can re-shape our future.The book is structured in eight chapters. Chapter 1 provides exposure to the complexity of flood-related issues and illustrates diversity of multiple points of view.Chapter 2 elaborates on the history of holistic thinking with connection to the flood resilience process.Chapter 3 discusses the holistic risk governance approach which progresses beyond the integrated urban flood management.Chapter 4 describes the Green Cities Initiative, an initiative which is essentially holistic in its nature as it aims to improve transport, energy efficiency, industrial metabolism including water supply and distribution as well as drainage and sewerage services through the holistic lens of interactions between different sectors.Chapter 5 discusses various risk assessment practices and it concludes that any practice that omits social, ethical and wider ecological points of view will be severely restricted in its scope and its reach.Chapter 6 describes the root causes of floods in the Pasig-Marikina River Basin in Metro Manila, Philippines.Chapter 7 reflects upon the key issues and challenges from 2011 Thailand floods.Finally, Chapter 8 presents some of the key aspects concerning urban stormwater management practice in Beijing, China.

Well-being and Wellness: Psychosocial Risk Management
Well-being and Wellness: Psychosocial Risk Management is a companion to Health and Safety: Risk Management that describes the techniques and background knowledge for preventing injury and ill health in the workplace.The new book instead describes the techniques and background knowledge for preventing impairment of worker well-being and wellness. These techniques differ from those required for the prevention of injury and ill health because of the need to take into account individual differences in susceptibility to psychosocial risk sources, and the fact that psychosocial risk sources can provide opportunities as well as threats.The book is divided into two parts: Part I describes the required background knowledge, including the nature of psychosocial harms to individuals, what can trigger these harms, and what can be done to mitigate these harms, and also deals with the necessary psychological background and the role of individual differences in reactions to psychosocial risk sources.Part II describes an outline psychosocial management system based on the ISO 45001 specification and the guidance in ISO 45002 and ISO 45003.However, the nature of the psychosocial risk sources being dealt with means that the ISO 45001 requirements must be extended in a number of ways, for example, by having threat and opportunity assessment, rather than risk assessment. Written primarily for OH&S professionals who wish to extend the scope of their management system to include well-being and wellness issues, the book is also directly beneficial to human resources (HR) professionals who have the responsibility for managing psychosocial hazards such as bullying and harassment.Additionally, it can be understood and applied by managers in all sectors who want to improve the well-being and wellness of their team, and it will be a relevant reading for students on OH&S, HR, or management courses.

Which risk do you prefer: normal risk or deluxe risk?
I prefer normal risk because it allows for a balance between potential reward and potential loss. Deluxe risk may offer higher potential rewards, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of significant loss. Normal risk allows for a more conservative approach to managing potential risks and rewards, which aligns with my preference for stability and security.

What are your experiences with the juice cleanse or juice detox?
I have personally tried a juice cleanse before and found it to be a challenging experience. While I did feel more energized and lighter during the cleanse, I also experienced hunger and cravings for solid food. I found that it required a lot of willpower to stick to the cleanse, but I did feel a sense of accomplishment afterwards. Overall, I think juice cleanses can be beneficial for some people, but it's important to listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional before trying one.

Is organic herbal soil suitable for indoor plants?
Yes, organic herbal soil can be suitable for indoor plants. Organic herbal soil is typically rich in nutrients and promotes good drainage, which can be beneficial for indoor plants. However, it's important to ensure that the soil is well-draining and not too heavy, as this can lead to waterlogging and root rot in indoor plants. Additionally, some indoor plants may have specific soil requirements, so it's important to consider the specific needs of the plants you are growing.

Risk
We are living in a world in which the existence of risk is constantly debated, misinformation and disinformation are rife and spread quickly and easily through online media, and where governments and institutions continue to avoid taking decisive action even when there is general agreement that a serious threat exists.Understanding how people, social groups and social organizations understand, respond to and act on threats, hazards and dangers is more important than ever.In Risk, Deborah Lupton asserts the ongoing importance of the analysis of risk in our age of permacrisis and mounting scepticism about experts and science, calling for a ‘re-turn’ to risk theory in the social sciences. The book outlines the three major approaches to risk in social and cultural theory, devoting a chapter to each.The first approach draws upon the work of Mary Douglas to articulate the cultural/symbolic perspective on risk.The second approach is that of the risk society perspective, based on the writings of Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens.The third approach covered is that of the governmentality perspective, which builds on Michel Foucault’s work.Three other chapters examine in detail the relationship between concepts of risk and concepts of selfhood and the body, the notion of Otherness and how this influences the ways in which people respond to and think about risk, and the pleasures of voluntary risk-taking, including discussion of edgework.An entirely new chapter has been added to this edition, focusing on the risks posed by misinformation and denial in the context of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.This chapter discusses the politics of post-truth cultures and the powerful networks of actor and organizations that together work to challenge science and manufacture dissent against attempts to tackle these crises. This new edition of Risk is an essential introduction to the topic of risk for students and academics in the social sciences and humanities.

Should I take a second risk and risk a second rejection?
Taking a second risk and risking a second rejection can be a difficult decision. It's important to consider the potential benefits of taking the risk, as well as the potential consequences of facing rejection again. If the potential rewards outweigh the potential negative outcomes, and if you believe that the risk is worth taking, then it may be worth considering taking the second risk. However, it's also important to take into account your emotional well-being and to consider whether you are prepared to handle another rejection. Ultimately, the decision to take a second risk is a personal one and should be carefully considered based on your individual circumstances.

Would you risk it?
As an AI, I do not have the capacity to take risks or make decisions based on emotions or personal preferences. However, I can provide information and analysis to help individuals make informed decisions about whether or not to take risks based on their own circumstances and risk tolerance. Ultimately, the decision to take a risk depends on the potential benefits, the likelihood of success, and the individual's willingness to accept the potential consequences.
