Review
This is the finest book that I have ever seen on Risk Assessment. It provides a detailed analytical approach with a sound scientific basis. The examples are very easy to follow and equations are easy to apply. All good designers should apply this approach in any design where there is a potential for loss of life or destruction of equipment.
---Richard L. Doyle, PE Past President, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Principle, Doyle and Associates La Jolla, California
It is the best and most interesting engineering book that I have ever read. . ..The history sections keep the reader very interested and in the process make it easy to learn the engineering aspects. . .. . . .the book is very easy to read and is an excellent teaching guide. It contains very good and easy to understand examples and explanations. I have remembered what I have learned because I could relate to the book so well. I also found myself looking at things differently to make sure that all risk has been assessed.

What Every Engineer Should Know About Risk Engineering and M,
By W. J. Bender (Ellensburg, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Every Engineer Should Know About Risk Engineering and Management (Hardcover)
An outstanding book for any field of engineering responsible to deliver projects in on schedule and under budget. Book is filled with examples from all areas that ease comprehension and make the book enjoyable to read. Specifically enjoyed the treatment of risk as more than the classic "potential to do harm", but also includes "opportunities for gain." The chapters on cost and schedule risk management are refreshing, informative and through the use of examples allows the concepts to be easily applied. At times the book can be whimsical, adding to the readers enjoyment. I most strongly recommend this book to engineers who want to sharpen their engineering and project management skills.
