Although it is called information security risk analysis, this books also covers the adjacent physical risks.

Even if you don't agree with the techniques, it will expose you to the language used in the formal risk management domains.

Mr Peltier is a speaker at many conferences and I am sure he is up to date on the current state of affairs. This book was published in 2001 and represents the state of the art back then.
