      abstract = {"There are plenty of books on specialized risk topics but  few that deal with the broad diversity and daily  applicability of this subject. 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"--},
