Sorry for the delay in updating these Top10 lists. My hosting company has corrupted recent traffic logs.

Top Ten of Most Viewed Books

Popularity is now judged using an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average to give greater weight to the more recent months. Previously, we had simply ranked books according to popularity summed back to Mar-03 when traffic records were first kept in their current form.

These are the top ten of most popularly viewed books in three separate categories on DefaultRisk.com. Updated April-1. My hope is that this "popularity" vote by your fellow risk analysts/managers can serve as an additional guide to focus your book search.
