Every financial professional wants and needs an advantage. A firm
foundation in advanced mathematics can translate into dramatic
advantages to professionals willing to obtain it. Many are
not—and that is the advantage these books offer the astute
reader. Published under the collective title of Foundations of
Quantitative Finance, this set of ten books presents the advanced
mathematics finance professionals need to advance their careers.
These books develop the theory most do not learn in Graduate
Finance programs, or in most Financial Mathematics undergraduate
and graduate courses. As a high-level industry executive and
authoritative instructor, Robert R. Reitano presents the
mathematical theories he encountered and used in nearly three
decades in the financial industry and two decades in education
where he taught in highly respected graduate programs. Readers
should be quantitatively literate and familiar with the
developments in the first books in the set. The set offers a linear
progression through these topics, though each title can be studied
independently since the collection is extensively self-referenced.
Book III: The Integrals of Lebesgue and (Riemann-) Stieltjes,
develops several approaches to an integration theory. The first two
approaches were introduced in the Chapter 1 of Book I to motivate
measure theory. The general theory of integration on measure spaces
will be developed in Book V, and stochastic integrals then studies
on Book VIII. Book III Features: Extensively referenced to utilize
materials from earlier books. Presents the theory needed to better

Migrant, Refugee, Smuggler, Saviour investigates one of the most
under-examined aspects of the great migration crisis of our time.
As millions seek passage to Europe in order to escape conflicts,
repressive governments and poverty, their movements are enabled and
actively encouraged by professional criminal networks that earn
billions of dollars. Many of these smugglers carry out their
activities with little regard for human rights, which has led to a
manifold increase in human suffering, not only in the Mediterranean
Sea, but also along the overland smuggling routes that cross the
Sahara, penetrate deep into the Balkans, and into hidden corners of
Europe's capitals. But others are revered as saviours by those that
they move, for it is they who deliver men, women and children to a
safer place and better life. Disconcertingly, it is often criminals
who help the most desperate among us when the international system
turns them away. This book is a measured attempt, born of years of
research and reporting in the field, to better understand how
people-smuggling networks function, the ways in which they have
evolved, and what they mean for peace and security in the future.

The Restless City: A Short History of New York from Colonial Times
to the Present is a brief, insightful and lively history of the
peoples, events and interactions that have formed New York City.
Weaving together the shifting currents of economic, political,
social, and cultural life, Joanne Reitano shows how New York has
acted both as an indicator and a driver of the American experience
in its negotiation of evolving urban challenges. The third edition
of The Restless City has been updated to include new material on
early settler/Native American interactions, and to be more fully
inclusive of the outer boroughs of New York. Each chapter features
at least two primary sources accompanied by discussion questions
for students. Authoritative and comprehensive, The Restless City
remains a superior resource for students and scholars interested in
the rich history of the nation's premier urban center.

This edited volume examines the use of militarised responses to
different forms of criminal activity, discussing the outcomes and
unintended consequences. Politicians and policymakers frequently
use militarised responses to look tough on crime. The deployment of
armies, navies, military assets and militarised approaches can send
a powerful message, but have produced mixed results. While they
generate the perception that governments are actively engaged on
issues of concern to the public, and in some cases have resulted in
notable successes, on the downside they have frequently also
increased the loss of life, exacerbated the humanitarian
consequences of a particular crime and entrenched divides between
security and state institutions and the criminal proponents,
narrowing the possibilities for future negotiated solutions. By
focusing on four different areas of criminality - wildlife crime,
piracy, migration and drug trafficking - the book allows context
and evidence-based conclusions to be drawn on the strategic value
and commonality of responses and their outcomes.

Covid-19 is reshaping and challenging governments, societies and
economies in previously unimaginable ways--but gangsters and
profiteers have adapted. They have found new routes for illegal
commodities, from narcotics to people. Shortages, lockdowns and
public attitudes have brought the underworld and upperworld closer
together, as criminals strive to meet needs, maximise opportunities
and fill governance vacuums. Unscrupulous fraudsters are touting
fake remedies to desperate people: counterfeit drugs, and
trafficked wildlife used in traditional medicine. Social distancing
and restrictions have seen online transactions and cyber-ops
replacing or supplementing physical shipments, opening
opportunities for scammers and hackers. Heavy-handed state
responses have created new illicit markets by prohibiting the sale
of particular goods and services, while some elites have
capitalised on the pandemic for personal or political gain. Covid
has cast a long shadow over the rule of law. Criminal Contagion
uncovers its extraordinary impacts on the global illicit economy,
and their long-term implications.

The story of a modern centurion: Tom Cobley's excellent and
comprehensive account of his 40 years of service has much to tell
the reader. His service took him from Australia and the Pacific
Islands, to Britain and Northern Ireland, to the Balkans,
Afghanistan and Iraq, and places in between. In different regiments
of two armies, often alongside men from other armies, he served on
operations in many theatres. He tells of service life, the
training, comradeship and preparation for operations; his insights
show what it is really like. He tells of command and staff work on
operations. And above all we learn of Tom Cobley, the centurion
himself. General Sir Rupert Smith KCB, DSO*, OBE, QGM (DSACEUR
1998-2001) Although I have served with the Parachute Regiment for
close to 40 years, I only got to know Colonel Tom Cobley later in
his career. When he was in Afghanistan I was the UK Chief of Joint
Operations (CJO), with operational responsibility for our forces
there. Subsequently I saw him in Iraq, first as CJO and later as
the Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe (DSACEUR), when visiting
the NATO training mission. Finally, he worked in my EU strategic
level Headquarters at Mons, whilst I had command of the EU
operation in Bosnia. It is my experience that you find the best
soldiers wherever there is an operation; the same faces always turn
up where the action is. Tom is no exception and his account of his
fascinating and varied career is well worth reading. General Sir
John Reith KCB, CBE (DSACEUR 2004-2007)

The Elite Grocery Shopper might look the same but they are much
more than that!
It's a fact of life that you will be paying for food all the days
of your life. As the price we pay for our life's nourishment
steadily goes up, you cannot sit there helpless and just pay
whatever they say. NO, you will instead, fight back with knowledge
and effort and come out the winner!
