My Life As A Quant: Reflections On Physics And Finance Description: Derman` s memoir of his transition from mathematical physicist to expert finance whiz at Goldman Sachs and Salomon Brothers reads like a novel, but tells a lot about brains applied to making money grow. – Paul A. Samuelson, MIT, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, 1970 Not only a delightful memoir, but one full of information, both about people and their enterprise. I never thought that I would be interested in quantitative financial analysis, but reading this book has been a fascinating education. – Jeremy Bernstein, author of Oppenheimer: Portrait of an Enigma This wonderful autobiography takes place in that special time when scientists discovered Wall Street and Wall Street discovered them.It is elegantly written by a gifted observer who was a pioneering member of the new profession of financial engineering, with an evident affection both for finance as a science and for the scientists who practice it.Derman’ s portrait of how the academi brought their new financial science to the world of business and forever changed it and, especially, his descriptions of the late and extraordinary genius Fischer Black who became his mentor, reveal a surprising humanity where it might be least expected.Who should read this book?Anyone with a serious interest in finance and everyone who simply wants to enjoy a good read. – Stephen Ross, Franco Modigliani Professor of Finance and Economics, Sloan School, MIT ... a deep and elegant exploration by a thinker who moved from the hardest of all sciences (physics) to the softest of the soft (finance). Derman is a different class of thinker; unlike most financialeconomists, he bears no physics envy and focuses on exploring the real intuitions behind the mechanisms themselves. In addition to stories and portraits, the book documents, in vivid detail, the methods of knowledge transfer. I know of no other book that bridges the two cultures. Finally, I am happy to discover that Derman has a third career: he is a writer.... Read More about the "My Life As A Quant: Reflections On Physics And Finance" on the The Nile Book Store Website

New Machiavelli: The Art Of Politics In Business Description: Ignore the latest buzz about the kinder, gentler world of new age, team-based management. It`s dog-eat-dog out there, and the sooner you realize it, the better. The New Machiavelli mines Machiavelli`s The Prince for the timeless rules and stratagems that can help today`s business rulers survive and prosper in the jungle of greed and treachery that is commerce. Alistair McAlpine enriches Machiavelli`s text with scenarios from modern business, offering keen new insight into what motivates people. You`ll learn the reasons why: Loyalty is not a reliable factor in the workplace Great power is held by the little people in a business It is better to spread power than to centralize it You should never believe your own publicity Fail to read it at your peril. For most of my lifetime politicians have been trying to tell businessmen how to go about their tasks ... Both groups, however, will enjoy this shrewd commentary on Machiavelli`s timeless principles of skullduggery.-Margaret Thatcher Anyone working in corporate America who doesn`t find, read, and master Alistair McAlpine`s amazing new guidebook to the art of politics in business may soon find themselves self-employed. -Charles Saatchi, Partner, M&C Saatchi Written in a style, like Machiavelli`s own, at once didactic and charming...
