"Once again, Dr. Mun has created a 'must-have, must-read' book for anyone interested in the practical application of risk analysis. Other books speak in academic generalities, or focus on one area of risk application. [This book] gets to the heart of the matter with applications for every area of risk analysis. You have a real option to buy almost any book-you should exercise your option and get this one!" -Glenn Kautt, MBA, CFP, EA, President and Chairman, The Monitor Group, Inc.
