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."
