Summary "In 1997, Frank Furedi published a book called Culture of Fear. It was widely acclaimed as perceptive and prophetic. Now Furedi returns to his original theme, as most of what he predicted has come true. In How Fear Works, Furedi seeks to explain two interrelated themes: why has fear acquired such a morally commanding status in society today and how has the way we fear today changed from the way that it was experienced in the past?"--Jacket.
Contents Changing stories of fear -- Waiting for the time bomb to explode -- Moral confusion : the main driver of the culture of fear -- The perspective of fear : how it works -- Creation of the fearful subject -- The quest for safety in a dangerous world -- Conclusion: Towards a less fearful future.
