Risk & Ins Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Risk and Insurance (Hardcover)
The purchase, delivery, value and cost from Amazon was exceptional as always. The book itself leaves much to be desired, there are few examples to apply to what is needed in 2011. There are a few but they are in the footnotes! Authors have tons of good information but it gets lost in the magnitude of boring text.
