The theory of risk already has its traditions. A review of its classical results is contained in Bohlmann (1909). This classical theory was associated with life insurance mathematics, and dealt mainly with deviations which were expected to be produced by random fluctua tions in individual policies. According to this theory, these deviations are discounted to some initial instant; the square root of the sum of the squares of the capital values calculated in this way then gives a measure for the stability of the portfolio. A theory constituted in this manner is not, however, very appropriate for practical purposes. The fact is that it does not give an answer to such questions as, for example, within what limits a company's probable gain or loss will lie during different periods. Further, non-life insurance, to which risk theory has, in fact, its most rewarding applications, was mainly outside the field of interest of the risk theorists. Thus it is quite understandable that this theory did not receive very much attention and that its applications to practical problems of insurance activity remained rather unimportant. A new phase of development began following the studies of Filip Lundberg (1909, 1919), which, thanks to H. Cramer (1926), e.O.

Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948) with his wife Mary were highly influential historians in the first half of the 20th century. Their works had a major impact on American historians. This book was written in 1921 and is still one of the most interesting books on the History of the United States. It was originally written as a textbook, and consequently is a good introduction to American History from its founding to the 19th Century. It discusses history in a mixture of a chronological and thematic manner, and therefore offers the reader insights into events that one may not have otherwise connected. It contains an index, footnotes, tables of populations and Presidents, copious illustrations and a Topical Syllabus.
