Interest-Rate Option Models: Understanding, Analysing, and Using Models for Exotic Interest-Rate Options (Wiley Series in Financial Engineering)
Riccardo Rebonato , and Ricardo Rebonato Manufacturer: John Wiley & Sons ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0471965693 |
Book Description
The modelling of exotic interest-rate options is such an important and fast-moving area, that the updating of the extremely successful first edition has been eagerly awaited. This edition re-focuses the assessment of various models presented in the first edition, in light of the new developments of modelling imperfect correlation between financial quantities. It also presents a substantial new chapter devoted to this revolutionary modelling method. In this second edition, readers will also find important new data dealing with the securities market and the probabilistic/stochastic calculus tools. Other changes include: a new chapter on the issues arising in the pricing of several classes of exotic interest-rate instruments; and insights from the BDT and the Brennan and Schwartz approaches which can be combined into a new class of "generalised models". Further details can be found on the links between mean-reversion and calibration for the important classes of models.Customer Reviews:

Most comprehensive book wirtten on this topic.......2001-11-06
Rebonato addresses consequently practical implementation issues (although not coevering the technical details of the implementation algorithms - read the original papers for that!) that are frequently missing in so many academic publications. This makes it to one of my favorit books on my book shelf. I am looking forward to his next book on intrest rate derivatives.

Eyes on the Prize:Law and Economic Development in Singapore (Londen-Leiden Series on Law Administration and Development)
Connie Carter Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9041117288 |
Book Description
Most law and development books focus on "what went wrong". Eyes on the Prize is an exception: it focuses on "what went right" in Singapore's transformation from squalid colony to successful growth-oriented, capitalist state. It questions the efficacy and nature of the role of law in the forty-year transformation, in the light of traditional and neo-traditional theories of law and development. It has not been the "rule of law" as such that has contributed to Singapore's development. Rather it has been law as the embodiment of "mature policy" of a goal-oriented, politically stable, educated, largely non-corrupt, communitarian and authoritarian state bureaucracy, which was grafted onto the remnants of the previous colonial administrative structures. Dr Carter examines Singapore's economic development in relation to labour law, land law, and intellectual property law, testing these against key aspects of law and development theories. While analyses of the former challenge the law and development convergence theory, that of intellectual property law uncovers the transforming impact of global influences such as the WTO. As such, the book provides a novel and balanced account for the student of law and economic development.

Restoring Americas Neighborhoods: How Local People Make a Difference

Customer Reviews:
Onward!.......2000-01-09
It will provide companionship, pleasure, and people you'll want to meet someday.
It may even encourage you to take that next step or that new responsibility you've been thinking about.
If each of us will 'bloom where we are planted' and offer thoughtful action and generous concern to our neighborhood, or to a neighborhood nearby that really needs us, America is sure to be stronger and richer for a long time to come. I think that's the message of this book, along with some politically important points. [Like that it is neither fair nor wise to add unpleasant or dangerous land uses to neighborhoods that are already struggling to stay healthy.] I think you'll find it worth your time. I read it from cover to cover, though I thought I'd only browse.

Dancing Communities: Performance, Difference and Connection in the Global City (Studies in International Performance)
Judith Hamera Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0230000037 Release Date: 2007-01-23 |
Book Description
Dancing Communities is a landmark volume in dance scholarship, and examines performances that create urban communities by blurring, or reinforcing, complex cultural and ethnic boundaries. It argues that amateur and concert dance practices are laboratories for examining the myriad complex intersections of gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity and culture. In the five sites examined here, dance creates small and generative worlds: sometimes havens, sometimes hauntopias. The everyday labors and final products of dance in the global city offer intimacy, solidarity, and communal and cultural continuity for performers and audiences.

Excellent Book..!!! Highly Innovative..!!!.......2001-02-21
The Authers have called it Physlets i.e. Physics Applets.
The applets presented are highly interactive, and allow the student to interact and fully understand the behaviour changes by changing various parameters.
It gives an excellent grasp of the topic under discussion and also gives a sound understanding of the concepts using visual medium.
The authers need to be congratulated for their highly innovative and pioneering work simplifying the pedegogy of learning/teaching physics.
Large number of illustrative examples. The reader can develop his/her own Physlets.
Highly recommended.
