The Price
Cameron MacLean has always regretted how things turned out with Marina. He could never shake her from his thoughts, even after fate took them down different paths. When a mysterious stranger tells Cameron that he and Marina lived and loved centuries in the past, the turmoil in his soul consumes him. Blindly he trusts in a chance to relive that life; he travels back 750 years in time to be with his soulmate. But when creatures out of legends walk the world once more, Cameron learns the true price he must pay to save the love of his life.
The Illusion of Control
A challenge to the conventional wisdom surrounding financial risk, providing insight into why easy solutions to control the financial system are doomed to fail Finance plays a key role in the prosperity of the modern world, but it also brings grave dangers. We seek to manage those threats with a vast array of sophisticated mathematical tools and techniques of financial risk management. Too often, though, we fail to address the greatest risk--the peril posed by our own behavior. Jón Daníelsson argues that critical risk is generated from within, through the interactions of individuals and perpetuated by their beliefs, objectives, abilities, and prejudices. He asserts that the widespread belief that risk originates outside the financial system frustrates our ability to measure and manage it, and the likely consequences of new regulations will help alleviate small-scale risks but, perversely, encourage excessive risk taking. Daníelsson uses lessons from past and recent crises to show that diversity is the best way to safeguard our financial system.
