Recenzii
'The time is right for a book on this topic, and Dr Ganapathy Ramachandran is one of the very few people in the world who could have done it justice. This book will become a must-have for anyone involved in public policy studies - including evaluation of proposed changes to codes and regulations - and associated risk analysis.' - Fire Safety Journal June 1999
'A particularly valuable tool to those involved in fire safety issues...' - Fire Engineer's Journal, July 2000
