Book excerpt: Viewed from the perspective of environmental management, this study describes the implications and applications of the precautionary principle - a theory of avoiding risk even when its likelihood seems remote.

This study examines the history and context of the principle, and its applications to law, governmental policies, business and investment, scientific research and international relations.
