in a clear and concise prose. Even battle-hardened risk and value
managers like myself will benefit from revisiting best practice,
refreshing our tools and techniques and gaining new insights to
stretch ourselves.' QS News

pertaining to international projects. Their high number and
frequent usage reflect the author's wealth of experience while

excellent resource and I recommend it.' CME Jan 2007
