'On the Origin of Risk' is available on all formats!
On the Origin of Risk presents a new way of understanding the deep biases we have in the business and scientific communities in our theories of risk and the core concepts we use to manage risk, especially as organisations.
It presents the evidence and argument from cutting-edge biology that risk is managed differently in organisms in Nature, and that we must learn from Nature in order to develop new theories and lead our mathematics of risk and adaptation in new directions.
In the final half of the book these new directions are sketched out. This is the beginning of a new way to look at problems of risk in terms of adaptation, including a technical appendix that adds new details on the new mathematics of risk which leverages our latest empirical knowledge of biological systems and original research by the author*.
*The book has also been technically edited by a professional computational biologist and is of high academic quality.
