The book is well organized and explains the basics of risk in an easy to understand format. It covers broad areas of risk with just the right amount of dept. I have used this book as a reference in my hazardous air pollution lectures.
Great shape--looks almost new. Arrived quickly. Book is easier to read than many I have read about the subject.
Excellent book on environmental risk assessment.
