Engineering Judgement and Risk
James Parkin

£35.00


Parkin takes a look at the way risks are judged in engineering. The book is academic in tone and starts with a look at what judgement is. The book takes a specific look at judgement in planning and design, and looks at the application of judgement in management and policy making issues.

Finally Parkin leads the reader through how risk and its judgement manifest in financial loss and loss of life. Then Parkin plunges into softer issues such as risk in terms of social policy such as Agenda 21.
