Editorial : From the Inside FlapOver the past two decades, financial firms, companies, and governments have shifted greater attention to financial manipulations in which they capitalized on leverage and short-term returns. These actually resulted in an explosive and global growth in financial activity. A financial Pandora's box had been opened, and countries and blue chip corporations believing in perpetual growth and once thought too big to fail, found themselves strangled with a debt they were not able to bear.
The recent market melt-down and credit liquidity crisis created full realization that complex financial products—when misunderstood and misused—can have devastating effects. Risk Finance and Asset Pricing: Value, Measurements, and Markets is a comprehensive introduction to financial engineering that presents the foundations of asset pricing and risk management, while stressing real-world applications.
Written for both beginning and practicing financial engine

Author Charles Tapiero wrote the seminal work Risk and Financial Management.
Along the way, his insights on the failures of EMR systems (using OpenNotes as a contrast), potential of "pre-womb to tomb" predictive/diagnostic models is well worth the read. These are what Japanese call "tatemae" -- the stuff that's said just for the sake of making a good (or at least better) impression.
The reviewers who suggested that the book supplements more advanced texts are closer to the mark. It's like they just used a stock photo.. Or a breakthrough in string theory. Thanks. Large enterprises have numerous information security challenges. Thus, given such an undisguised admiration for Jackson and his trenchant democratic principles, I was curious to see how Remini would treat his arch-villain: the indomitable Henry Clay of Kentucky.
To my great surprise and pleasure, Remini presents an exceptionally balanced and thorough account of "Prince Hal" and his feud with Andrew Jackson and the Democrats as nominal head of the Whig party. I can't wait to read the next
