We find risk everywhere--from genetically modified crops, medical malpractice, and stem-cell therapy to heartbreak, online predators, identity theft, inflation, and robbery. They arise from our own acts and they are imposed on us. In this Very Short Introduction, Baruch Fischhoff and John Kadvany draw on both the sciences and humanities to illuminate both the similarities and differences of various kinds of risk. Using conceptual frameworks such as decision theory and behavioral decision research, they examine the science and practice of creating measures of risk and look at how scientists apply probability by combining historical records, scientific theories, and expert judgment. Perhaps more important, they show what science has learned about how people deal with risks, applying these lessons to diverse everyday examples, demonstrating how we can move from understanding a risk to making a choice to diminish risk in everyday life.Binding Type: Paperback

love! must buy!
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Pro:
Goes on white but fades and fades quicker when blended in.
Gives meca slight bright effect on face overall.
Hasn't broken me out - as far as i seen and known.
No weird smell( mine did not smell at all).
Not sticky, easy to blend on face.
I feel it is worth the price especially because i feel like the ingredients are not overwhelming or harmful.
Definitely a must buy!
Con:
Size, it is really small. I mean i knew it was going to be small in size but didn't imagine it be this small.
(But i personally like the small size for use and storing in my bag or counter.)
Definitely a must buy! Its cute, small, and useful.

Great for daily use under makeup
First, I'd like to say that this sunscreen stick is really convenient. It's moisturizing and blends in clear, so no white cast. Perfect for wearing under makeup, and it's non-comedogenic, so no worries about breakouts. Love how easy it is to apply and how lightweight it feels. Overall, a good choice for everyday sun protection.

Genuinely One of My Favorites Sunscreens in Existence
I use stick sunscreen around my eyes on a daily basis. It's less likely to run into my eyes and sting than regular sunscreen. However there can still be issues. Sometimes it still irritates my eye area, looks weird under makeup, pills, or (as with most mineral sunscreens) leaves a weird cast around my eye area.
I was very pleasantly surprised by this sunscreen. It feels like very light weight balm that feels heavenly on the skin. It isn't sticky, greasy, and doesn't have a weird sunscreen smell. It's moisturizing without being too moisturizing, if that makes sense.
Given the price point I am absolutely amazed at the quality. If you repackaged this sunscreen and sold it as a luxury product I would be none the wiser. This will be a new staple in my daily routine.
