'Most project management texts seem to regard risk management as a necessary evil or a process which has fairly standardized regulatory and legal parameters and consequences. This text acknowledges the importance of risk management within construction, real estate, civil engineering and transport planning project management. It is also redesigned for reference so managers can base decisions on realistic information. In this edition the authors offer risk management techniques across the spectrum of project management and also consider how the public views risk management. The authors make sure to include the theoretical basis for their assertions as they cover risk and uncertainty in projects, risk and opportunity identification and analysis, perceptions of risk, response and crisis management, recovery, and developing and implementing a risk and opportunity management system. They provide helpful checklists for risk management maturity and common risks and opportunities in construction projects.' – Book News
