Abstract
As far as we are aware, this book is unique in bringing together such a number of diverse perspectives on uncertainty. The collection of essays broadens our understanding of where uncertainty comes from, how we perceive it and how we deal with it. In the next three chapters we weave those insights together, supplementing them with learning from the discussion at the symposium. We use the framework Smithson laid out in Chapter 2 to structure our synthesis, focusing particularly on enriching that framework with new examples and insights.
