Insurance: Concepts & Coverage: Property, Liability, Life, Health and Risk Management Paperback – October 25, 2012

This book is EXACTLY what I needed. It provides an easy to follow breakdown of the terms and concepts across policy types, risk and regulation that is perfect for establishing your “101” frame of knowledge. Wish that there were more books on the market like this across industries!!

Arrived quick and in good shape! Packaging was very sturdy and held up in our snow storm!

This is a thin book that explains different kinds of insurance coverage and defines key terms and limitations. It's going to be of greatest use for somebody working in insurance sales, perhaps providing background about Life & Health coverage to somebody who specializes in Property 7 Casualty, or vice versa. There's nothing complex here, but it's competently prepared and neatly presented.

I'd like to see some more numbers (market sizes, prices, etc). There isn't much here that one couldn't get by spending a couple of hours on Wikipedia.

I seriously wish I had this book before I had started studying for my license. I absolutely hated the material that the state provided. This book actually explained and simplified the complicated jargon from the study material!

This is ideal for a non-risk manager to use as a reference when confronted with insurance questions. It will be much too basic, I'm sure, for an insurance expert. But as a contracts person who frequently has to make insurance decisions I'm not qualified to make, this book is gold. After one loaned out copy disappeared, I bought a second copy.

The format of the book is one that makes for a very understandable read rather than the book being a producer of confusion. I highly recommend this piece of literature to anyone in the insurance business or one who is studying for a licensing exam.

It’s great for people who have some background knowledge already. I’d give it 5 stars but it’s not what I expected for someone completely new to this. It’s more of a review
