P. London Said: Terrific Tool!! ( Oct. 24th 2007 )
This book is a great tool for the insurance studies, the concepts are very clear and help you to have a better knowledge.
Daniel Hurley Said: Very Useful for the Insurance Professional Newbie ( Jun. 1st 2007 )
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.
J. D. Seagraves Said: Not worth the money; filled with non-insurance-related terms ( May. 23rd 2007 )
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.
hweather Said: Very Helpful! ( Jan. 30th 2006 )
The insurance industry has its own language. I have yet to come across a term that is not in this dictionary!
Bryan D Lewis Said: Thick Junk ( Oct. 24th 2001 )
I have been in the insurance industry 15 years and just decided to buy this as an addition for my work desk. I rarely open the book, however, anytime I go to look up a coverage definition it is not listed. This book is of NO use to me. Not really sure who would use this.............a person who hands out maps at the Auto Club who may need to look up a word or two?
