Value Assumptions in Risk Assessment: A Case Study of the Alachlor Controversy

Selected by Choice as one of the outstanding publications for 1991.Are risk debates disputes between those who accept the findings of science and those who do not? Between good and bad science? Or is it possible that opposing assessments of risk, by scientific experts as well as ordinary citizens, reflect and are guided by dominant values held by the assessors? The following analysis of one of these debates supports the latter view. In it we suggest what those dominant values are, how they work within a risk assessment, and some implications of reconceiving risk debates as primarily debates about values.

More than 1,400 neighborhoods in the United States, most of them African-American, were leveled in the name of urban renewal during the mid-twentieth century. South of Main recreates the culture and history of just one of those, the Southside of Spartanburg, South Carolina, founded in the 1860s by a group of ex-slaves who lived together at the end of a dusty road called Liberty Street. This poignant and painful history examines the experiences of the people who called the Southside home and whose lives were affected by the bulldozers of urban renewal. Their story is an American story, a complex chronicle of a people powerless against the whims of progress. This book received an IPPY award in 2006 from Independent Publisher magazine as the best multicultural nonfiction title by an independent press in North America.

See how, like a butterfly, she changes the world within her, as her external world becomes increasingly unyielding.

Discover more about your own life through Brenda Lee's introspective, yet humorous flight from insanity. Learn how you, too, can emerge OUT OF THE COCOON to create a future brimming with unconditional love and lasting happiness.“I have to say that it was quite chilling reading Brenda's account of her childhood... because it could have been me writing the same thing. Many people are unaware of what Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY teach and how they enslave you once you are baptized, usually without complete information about this cult. Both my husband and myself and our two sons were able to break free from this cult... but even after 5 years of freedom, we are still feeling the effects of shunning and psychological damage. I hope that by reading this well-written account by Brenda, that those who may be contemplating joining Jehovah's Witnesses as a baptized member will realize how deceptive and cruel this religion is. I applaud the author for coming forth and speaking for all of us who have been devastated by the unloving and unchristian actions of Jehovah's Witnesses!” — Catherine Laszewski“OUT OF THE COCOON is a powerful and touching account of one young woman's journey to freedom from repression and religious intolerance. I picked it up one evening and couldn't stop reading until I was finished late that night. It will touch you on the deeper levels of spiritual freedom and growth.” — Steve Chandler, Author of REINVENTING YOURSELF"OUT OF THE COCOON is a story about the damage a cult can do to a loving family and shows the long-lasting rippled effect that can affect a child later in life. Courage to go against the current comes from deep inside a person when it would be much easier to go with the flow. Brenda Lee is one of those who has shown such courage. Like the young man David, who picked up three stones and slung them at the giant, Goliath, Brenda Lee chose to pick up her pen to shatter the Watchtower's image, just as it tried to shatter hers. I applaud her courage, and her strength to discover the person she truly is — against all odds." — Roy Milton, Author of TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCESABOUT THE AUTHOR: Brenda Lee was born on a rural farm in Pennsylvania in 1962 and moved to Colorado in 1980. Early on, she began her love of writing through journaling and as the editor of her high school’s creative writing project entitled, “Special Feelings.” She graduated from college with honors in Denver, CO.Brenda writes, produces, and edits an internationally renowned newsletter that helps former cult members take flight and is involved in counter-cult work through her seminars entitled, “Understanding Cults: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Family.” Since her memoir OUT OF THE COCOON was first published in 2006, she has appeared on many radio programs around the world, has delivered countless speeches, and has participated in numerous book signings.
