From the reviews: "The new results of this book include many real life applications especially in health management. ... More applications to the specialists are given throughout the book. The book is written for practitioners but I think it is quite useful for anyone interested in risk analysis and assessment. ... Concluding, this is one of the best books on quantitative risk assessment. I strongly recommended it to anyone interested in reducing risk in this highly volatile world." (E. Ahmed, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1168, 2009) "The book is devoted to the development of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for complex and uncertain biological, engineering, and social systems. ... This book is written for practitioners using rational quantitative risk analysis in various areas. The methods and strategies included are good enough to help one make effective risk management decisions." (Krzysztof Szajowski, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 c)
