ISBN10: 0471295639, ISBN13: 9780471295631, [publisher: Wiley John + Sons Dez 1998] Softcover Neuware - Der Bestseller zur Risikobewertung jetzt als Broschurausgabe. Das ganze Leben ist ein einziges Risiko. Menschen in allen Bereichen des Lebens - Politiker, Wissenschaftler, Geschäftsleute, sogar Familien - müssen regelmäßig Entscheidungen treffen, die in irgendeiner Form Risiken bergen. Die Fähigkeit, das Ausmaß des Risikos solcher Entscheidungen zu bewerten und einzugrenzen gehört zu den Grundprinzipien der modernen Gesellschaft. 'Against the Gods' erzählt die Abenteuer einer Gruppe kühner Denker, die sich auf eine intellektuelle Entdeckungsreise begeben haben und den urzeitlichen Aberglauben verwandelt haben in leistungsstarke Methoden zur Risikokontrolle, wie sie heute Anwendung finden. Interessant und spannend geschrieben und ohne den sonst themabedingten technischen und mathematischen Ballast.
