5.0 out of 5 stars Needed for Class, November 9, 2009

By	Denise E. Seisler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Principles of Risk Management and Insurance (10th Edition) (Hardcover)

This book along with the book exams were difficult to understand. The author is very misleading. The exams are tricky even though the book spells things right out like in the exam question.

Typical text provides the info you need so they can roll out your degree...but they forgot the WHY risk mgt is important and HOW it came about; sections about or a chapter on the historical significance wouldn't of hurt only added to the value of its study. Plainly, this is only a text you will buy for school not serious study or to fill the gaps in one's knowledge.
