For many years, introductory insurance textbooks presented insurance as a subject based in contracts. Slowly, the course has moved toward a consumer orientation, providing students with a broad, descriptive survey of the insurance field, covering topics such as legal aspects, life and health, and property and liability. Over the past 10 years, textbooks began to promote, and to a limited degree, incorporate a stronger business risk management component while maintaining a consumer orientation. Harrington/Niehaus' Risk Management and Insurance 2e is written to take the next step offering the essential aspects of insurance contracts and the insurance industry while providing a substantially more conceptual analysis and attention to business risk management and public policy issues that exists in current texts.

The book delves into the analysis of thin protective oxide films on transition metals, focusing on the adaptation of Mott-Schottky theory to assess their electronic properties. It explores the relationship between these semiconducting characteristics and the corrosion and electrochemical behavior of metal oxide systems, providing insights into the protective nature of these films and their significance in materials science.
