Unusual book
"A great Read...perfect for senior managers and directors who need a non-technical understanding of what derivatives are all about." John Hull, Maple Financial Chair in Derivatives and Risk Management Director, Bonham Centre for Finance "Admirably fills the long-standing gap between highly technical texts on derivatives mathematics which often leave their readers unaware of the financial contexts of the uses of these instruments and popularisations which tend to emphasise disaster stories at the expense of communicating the key issues behind derivatives." Eric S. Reiner, UBS Warburg "In their new book father and son authors - Phelim and Feidlim Boyle have successfully demystified the subject in their informative and entertaining overview. The style and low price of this book not only puts derivatives within easy reach of the lay reader, but will also provided refreshing new insights for the more experienced practitioner." Swiss Derivatives Review, Published by Adams Associates "I found this book well worth a read. What it attempts, and achieves, is an unintimidating introduction to derivatives explaining their uses, highlighting the risks, and providing plenty of background and context." Leon Jones, The Actuary Magazine, December 2001
