3.0 out of 5 stars Theorical and practical approach, March 15, 2007
By 
C. Lopez Hernandez (Mexico City, Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Event Risk Management and Safety (Hardcover)
The two first chapters have a theorical approach worthy of an academy writer. But the ongoing chapters, although have useful information and practical, lack of structure.
