Two proofs go into the mail for delivery here on Thursday, one for Emily, one for me. Then we'll make any adjustments here and then set the books to go live on Amazon.com probably by mid-next week.
I am so pleased that I will be able to carry a proof to the operational risk conference in Amsterdam.
There are two blurbs on the back of the book that are hard to read above, so here they are, along with one from Kevin Desouza that appears at the front of the book:
“This second volume of Annie
Searle’s Reflections on Risk continues her tradition of bringing
critical issues facing our society to the forefront through a careful
combination of education, collaboration and inspiration. The essays in this
book are a result of her mentorship and guidance of students in the University
of Washington Master of Science in Information Management program at the
University of Washington Information School, and provide a window into the
varied and complex issues facing individuals and organizations as we move
further into the Information Age. The background and insights provided in this
work should be required reading for all; they illuminate the numerous and
diverse challenges we face in managing and securing our information assets in
the digital world, as well as providing a glimpse into the minds that will be
shaping our future. “

“Annie Searle’s Reflections on Risk, Volume II
shines a much-needed lens on a range of the most
pressing issues facing all firms – both public and private – today from the
phenomenon of big data, mobile payments and Bitcoin to the increasing and
ever-present threat of cybercrime in all industry sectors. The sheer
range of current operational risk issues addressed in this book makes it
required reading for all risk managers.”
