Project managers in construction and civil engineering need to base their decisions on realistic information about risk and public perceptions of risk. This second edition of the original practical and straightforward text retains the easy-to-read format; but has been expanded to encompass the entire risk management process and to give a fuller presentation of how risk is generally perceived.Two new chapters cover risk identification and risk response; and the chapters on risk analysis have been completely reorganized. There is also greater emphasis on the theory behind the principles; and an expanded bibliography is given to guide an exploration of the subject in greater detail. The book demystifies risk management by presenting the subject in simple and practical terms; free of technical jargon; and case studies are used extensively to enliven the text and to illustrate the concepts discussed.

Wilsons Meatpacking Plant in Albert Lea. MinnesotaBy Brian Wayne WellsAs part of my continuing interest in writing articles on old farm tractors and farm machinery. I purchased this book in order to obtain a picture of the Wilson Meatpacking Plant in Albert Lea. Minnesota. The book did not dissapoint. Their was a large aerial view of Wilsons taken in about the 1950s. Albert Lea happens to be the county seat of Freeborn County.
