Reviews, Awards, & Endorsements for the Risk Communication Handbook by Lundgren and McMakin |
In 2005, the third edition won the coveted triple crown of technical communication:
“This well-written book includes topics slighted elsewhere, such as use of the Internet and graphics. There is a nice balance between descriptions of ‘how-to’ and explanations of ‘why.’” Caron Chess, Ph.D., Director, Center for Environmental Communication, Cook College/Rutgers University “. . . useful for those beginning to face the challenges posed by risk communication in both the private and public sectors.” Susan Santos, Principal, Focus Group “. . . a useful book for anyone working in this field.” Institute for Scientific and Technical Communications, England. See full review at http://www.istc.org.uk/site/riskcomm.asp. “The text reads easily, which one might expect from a book on effective communication. Yet the book's smooth flow is an impressive feat given the specialized topic. The authors' credentials shine through in their inclusion of copious references and suggested resources, as well as in their attention to detail in editing and presentation.” Security Management Organization.

“It’s an excellent first handbook for the [occupational health and safety] professional, government regulator, or anyone who is expected to communicate about risk to health and safety.” Dr. Tim Sly, professor and director, School of Occupational and Public Health, Ryerson Polytechnic Institute, for OHS Canada, Canada’s premier occupational safety and health magazine.
