Reviews
"'Balanced' is a good word for describing this text. In addition to striking a nice balance between accessibility and thoroughness, it also maintains good balances between breadth and depth, and between the areas of risk management and insurance. I found the writing clear and the within-chapter organization of topics very logical. The text would be useful to both MBA students and insurance industry professionals."
Professor Michael R. Powers, Temple University
