Good introductory book on (quantitative) risk management

[Mathias]

Hey,

Does any of you have a good suggestion for an introductory book on VaR models and risk management?

I am looking for a book that is like "Options, futures and other..." just on risk management instead i.e. with less mathematical rigor (than for example Quantitative Risk Management: Concepts, Techniques, and Tools) but still introducing the concepts using some math.

Hull has a similar book but about Risk Management.
