History's Greatest Decisions
History’s Greatest Decisions identifies and profiles the many important and difficult decisions leaders have made through history which shaped the world as we know it today. One of the defining features of being human is our capacity for complex problem solving. Most of the time we deal with mundane concerns, like what to have for breakfast or which pair of shoes to wear, but occasionally people face decisions about rather weightier matters. History’s Greatest Decisions is concerned with this second category, those important and difficult decisions which only a very few people get to make and which can impact on the lives of millions of others and have the potential to change the world. From our unknown ancestors who made the first stone tools, to those people in Northern Ireland who managed to put aside their differences in order to create a better future for their children; from the most powerful man in the world deciding not to start a nuclear war, to a woman on a bus standing up for her rights refusing to move seats. History's Greatest Decisions looks at well-known and not-so-well-known examples of people who made the crucial decisions and got them right.
Derivatives
Robert Whaley has more than twenty-five years of experience in the world of finance, and with this book he shares his hard-won knowledge in the field of derivatives with you. Divided into ten information-packed parts, Derivatives shows you how this financial tool can be used in practice to create risk management, valuation, and investment solutions that are appropriate for a variety of market situations.
Introduction To Derivative Securities, Financial Markets, And Risk Management, An (Third Edition)
The third edition updates the text in two significant ways. First, it updates the presentation to reflect changes that have occurred in financial markets since the publication of the 2nd edition. One such change is with respect to the over-the-counter interest rate derivatives markets and the abolishment of LIBOR as a reference rate. Second, it updates the theory to reflect new research related to asset price bubbles and the valuation of options. Asset price bubbles are a reality in financial markets and their impact on derivative pricing is essential to understand. This is the only introductory textbook that contains these insights on asset price bubbles and options.
Unsolved Conspiracies
"Spanning from ancient Egypt to modern-day Pakistan, the conspiracies in this book represent a catalogue of mysterious plots with one thing in common: in every case it remains impossible to say for certain exactly what happened or who was involved. Unsolved Conspiracies collects together the most perplexing plots, cover-ups, and deceptions throughout history, to address questions such as: Was Alexander the Great murdered? Was the United States government involved in 9/11? Was the Philadelphia Experiment real? Is the Bilderberg Group really a secret world government? Each fascinating case is explored with a concise but thorough review of its history, key figures, and some - often-surprising - alternative theories. Unsolved Conspiracies includes more than 150 photographs, paintings, drawing and maps to help readers piece together a picture of the facts behind these most puzzling plots." --back cover.
Fixed Income Securities
The deep understanding of the forces that affect the valuation, risk and return of fixed income securities and their derivatives has never been so important. As the world of fixed income securities becomes more complex, anybody who studies fixed income securities must be exposed more directly to this complexity. This book provides a thorough discussion of these complex securities, the forces affecting their prices, their risks, and of the appropriate risk management practices. Fixed Income Securities, however, provides a methodology, and not a shopping list. It provides instead examples and methodologies that can be applied quite universally, once the basic concepts have been understood.
