SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This volume fills the need for a comprehensive guidebook and reference for risk assessment techniques. Within a generalized conceptual framework the authors clarify and integrate basic concepts; critique current methodologies; and teach the selection and application of a specific method and the interpretation of its results. The work makes these seemingly bewildering techniques accessible to readers from all disciplines.
