[Deniss Ojastu · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book allows to learn the basics of how the insurance industry works and what should everyone of us know about the nature of risk and possibilities of its management. A typical subject-related university-curriculum book - not excessively exciting, yet fulfilling its task well.

Textbook for Actuarial studies for the basic terms used in other actuarial related books.

Read with Fundamentals of Risk and Insurance book, by Vaughn as these two support each other.

[Dayton Outar · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fairly good introduction to the insurance industry. I think it delivers a comprehensive explanation of the details of several types of insurance. A perfect book for getting a lay of the land of the insurance business.
