"A need exists for a concise readable, and reasonably interesting insurance text. 'Insurance: An Introduction to Personal Risk Management' was written to fill that need. It is designed to provide the basics of insurance in a form that undergraduates will read and can easily understand. The text's emphasis is on what insurance professionals call "personal lines"-the insurance needs of the typical American family. It provides the insurance information necessary to make an intelligent purchase of insurance by and for the average American family. The text deliberately avoids discussion of commercial insurance and also avoids technical aspects of insurance that are primarily of interest to the insurance professional."
