Review :
"I recommend this book to anybody who is really interested in extending their knowledge of the mathematical side of insurance. It is well presented and is filled with many practical examples which aid the reader in understanding the underlying processes." -Dr. Stewart M. Coutts "This book continues the tradition of cooperation between British and Finnish actuaries and scholars which led to several editions of Risk Theory by Beard et al. The title of the book and of the first part emphasize the practical aspects of risk theory. This goal is to a large extent reached by focusing on problems which occur in practice and by devoting time and efforts in explaining the more theoretical methods which are applied...as a handbook it seems to cover an unusually large number of interesting fields. The general impression of the book is very favorable: it introduces important concepts in a pedagogical manner, it presents a wide spectrum of ideas with modern references fro further study, and it is typographically attractive." -Scandinavian Acturial Journal "The book's content and intention are well expressed..." -Journal of ASA "...the book uses a very refreshing approach to its methodology...Its mixture of generality and specificity should also render it a model for OR textbooks." -Journal of Operational Research "The authors, eminent practitioners are contributing valuably to the education of their younger colleagues." -The Statistician
