Recenzje

'This book is particularly helpful for readers in that it makes use of a considerable number of diagrams, models and other methods of clarifying complex theories or assisting in explaining risk models...Chapter 6 was of particular interest given the current financial situation of the country...if you are going to deal with risk and/or finance, you really ought to make the time to read this book as part of the subject.' Edward Simpson, Building Engineer
