Simple but comprehensive, 2007-03-19
The book seems to be easy to read, but still quite comprehensive. The new tendencies of ART solutions are good captured and described in a well understandible manner. Good book for everyone who wants to know main features of ART market without getting himself lost in small mathematical details

Highly Recommended!, 2004-10-25
In this excellent introduction to risk management, author Erik Banks offers a lucid, clearly written and well-organized overview. He tells readers what risk management is, why it is necessary, how it works and how companies can carry it out most prudently and cost-effectively. He manages to convey the essential information about insurance and reinsurance, the use of capital markets and derivatives, and the application of enterprise risk management concisely. This is a remarkable achievement. Most books on insurance bog down in jargon and details, while most books on derivatives are unnecessarily complicated and dense. This one - offered by the Wiley Finance Series - is neither. Although not exactly beach reading, it's about as accessible as any book on this subject could possibly be. We recommend it highly to executives and investors.
