Risk applications require a robust knowledge of many attributes of this seemingly simple subject. This book teaches the reader through examples and case studies the fundamental (and subtle) aspects of risk - regardless of the specific situation. The text allows the reader to understand the concept of risk analysis while not getting too involved in the mathematics; in this method the reader can apply these techniques across a wide range of situations.The second edition includes new examples from NASA and several other industries as well as new case studies from legal databases. The many real-life discussion topics enable the reader to form an understanding of the concepts of risk and risk management and apply them to day-to-day issues"--cProvided by publisher.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2015.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aRisk assessment. 7aElectronic books.2local2 aebrary, Inc.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10503012zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c115347d115347
