Title: Managing environmental risk through insurance
First published: 1997
Description: Managing Environmental Risk Through Insurance analyzes the ability of insurance to play a role in managing environmental risk. It begins by outlining the role insurance plays in society in contrast to other societal tools for addressing risk: government benefit programs and imposition of involuntary liability using the court system. By so doing, the book describes the comparative advantages of insurance. The book then analyzes the insurability of the risks.

Finally, the book applies the insurability analysis to three concrete environmental examples.
