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. ---Mary Jo Armstrong Project Management for Aerospace Lord Corporation Erie, Pennsylvania
