Keeping pace with the tremendous changes faced by the nation, the Ninth Edition of Principles of Risk Management and Insurance is fully revised to provide current insurance information while maintaining the excellent, broad coverage that has made this text a market leader. Designed for a beginning undergraduate course, this text covers concepts of risk management, legal principles, property and liability insurance, life and health insurance, employee benefits, social insurance, and the functional and financial operations of insurers.
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.
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.
