A better name for this product would be the Long-Winded Financial Terms Dictionary. Its pages are filled with non-insurance-related definitions for accounting, legal, and other financial-service terms. Worse yet, several key insurance-related terms that have come into existence in, say, the past century are not included. The only thing I have ever used this book for is to cite the author’s claim that U.S. citizens spend more money on insurance than any other type of expenditure – but that occurs in the preface. The terms themselves are unhelpful and incomplete, and the book’s pages are stuffed with filler.

The insurance industry has its own language. I have yet to come across a term that is not in this dictionary!

I find this a pretty complete reference book for someone new to the insurance side such as a young or new risk manager. The definitions are fairly indepth but still short and to the point. To critique the book severly, as some other reviewers have, I suggest reccommending another reference source, within your review, that is considered better. I would be most anxious to take a look at it since it would allow a fair comparison.
