Hardback. Condition: New. This book covers both the practical and theoretical aspects of catastrophe modelling for insurance industry practitioners and public policymakers. Written by authors with both academic and industry experience it also functions as an excellent graduate-level text and overview of the field. Ours is a time of unprecedented levels of risk from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Fortunately, it is also an era of relatively inexpensive technologies for use in assessing those risks. The demand from both commercial and public interests-including (re)insurers, NGOs, global disaster management agencies, and local authorities-for sophisticated catastrophe risk assessment tools has never been greater, and contemporary catastrophe modelling satisfies that demand. Combining the latest research with detailed coverage of state-of-the-art catastrophe modelling techniques and technologies, this book delivers the knowledge needed to use, interpret, and build catastrophe models, and provides greater insight into catastrophe modelling's enormous potential and possible limitations. The first book containing the detailed, practical knowledge needed to support practitioners as effective catastrophe risk modellers and managersIncludes hazard, vulnerability and financial material to provide the only independent, comprehensive overview of the subject, accessible to students and practitioners alikeDemonstrates the relevance of catastrophe models within a practical, decision-making framework and illustrates their many applicationsIncludes contributions from many of the top names in the field, globally, from industry, academia, and government Natural Catastrophe Risk Management and Modelling: A Practitioner's Guide is an important working resource for catastrophe modelling analysts and developers, actuaries, underwriters, and those working in compliance or regulatory functions related to catastrophe risk. It is also valuable for scientists and engineers seeking to gain greater insight into catastrophe risk management and its applications.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Elephant Folio (67 × 49.5 cm). Full brown leather. Cover titling in blind. Bound by Smith Settle, Otley. 134 pp. 20 full-colour tipped-in plates by Matthew Hillier throughout, with 4 plates for each of the five species. Numerous behavioural vignettes and sketches. Maps by John Woodcock. Text printed on 175gsm paper; plates printed on Mohawk Super Fine paper using a new waterless printing technique. First edition. Special Edition, limited to 60 copies, this being number 34. Signed by Francesco Nardelli and Matthew Hillier on the limitation page. Includes an original pencil illustration by Matthew Hillier, presented in a lime green frame. The Basilisk Press was established with a purpose that its own foreword writer described with characteristic directness. John Aspinall (the conservationist, zoo owner, and founder of Howletts and Port Lympne wildlife parks) wrote of the project: "The production of this book is a bold venture inspired by love and admiration, rather than commercial logic or academic zeal." The description applies equally to the Basilisk Press as an enterprise and to the specific monograph it produced. The five living species of rhinoceros are among the most endangered large mammals on earth. At the time of this monograph's production in 1988, all five were under severe threat; the Javan and Sumatran rhinoceroses had already been reduced to tiny remnant populations. The book is dedicated by Nardelli to Torgamba, a Sumatran rhinoceros bull, "in the sincere hope that he will not prove to be the last of his kind." The hope has proved, in the decades since, to be prescient in its anxiety: the Sumatran rhinoceros now numbers fewer than fifty individuals in the wild, the Javan rhinoceros fewer than seventy, and the Northern White Rhinoceros has been functionally extinct since the death of its last male in 2018. Matthew Hillier spent two years illustrating the monograph, travelling to Africa and Sumatra to study rhinoceroses in the field, producing twenty large plates of portraits and paintings of the five species, together with behavioural sketches. The resulting paintings are stunning works: each species represented by four full-colour tipped-in plates printed on Mohawk Super Fine paper using a waterless printing technique that was, at the time, among the most technically advanced available for fine press production. The text was compiled by Sandra Raphael, and the five chapters combine scientific description, natural history, and conservation context with a sustained argument for the urgency of preservation. The maps by John Woodcock document the historical and contemporary ranges of each species with the same precision brought to the paintings. The Special Edition of 60 copies is distinguished from the standard signed limited edition of 300 copies in cloth by its full leather binding executed by Smith Settle of Otley, West Yorkshire, one of the foremost fine binderies in England, and by the inclusion of an original pencil illustration by Matthew Hillier, presented here in a lime green frame — a unique work of art associated with the production, different in each copy, and a direct outcome of the two years Hillier spent studying and drawing rhinoceroses in the field. Fine. A pristine copy throughout. Please note: This is an extremely large and very heavy volume. Additional postage costs will apply.
