Summary
"Andy Garlick's book explores the role of quantitative techniques in modern risk management. Risk management has grown in importance in most organisations in the last 20 years, but in many remains simply a matter of processing lists of risks and actions. The author argues that this fails to make the most of the techniques available and that organisations can improve their risk decision making by using risk models." "His book describes a broad range of modelling techniques, all illustrated by business-relevant examples. The role of the models in decision making is also discussed, with particular emphasis on what the risk premium - the price people charge for accepting risk - is and should be."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary
Adventure has become big business-with substantial returns and rewards, but also substantial risks. The management of risk is a daily concern for operators, who need to protect clients, guides and business value. Unfortunately, however, there is a wide variance and incongruity of knowledge among programmers, instructors, guides and business operators across North America.
