Western philosophy's relationship with prisons stretches from
Plato's own incarceration to the modern era of mass incarceration.
Philosophy Imprisoned: The Love of Wisdom in the Age of Mass
Incarceration draws together a broad range of philosophical
thinkers, from both inside and outside prison walls, in the United
States and beyond, who draw on a variety of critical perspectives
(including phenomenology, deconstruction, and feminist theory) and
historical and contemporary figures in philosophy (including Kant,
Hegel, Foucault, and Angela Davis) to think about prisons in this
new historical era. All of these contributors have experiences
within prison walls: some are or have been incarcerated, some have
taught or are teaching in prisons, and all have been students of
both philosophy and the carceral system. The powerful testimonials
and theoretical arguments are appropriate reading not only for
philosophers and prison theorists generally, but also for prison
reformers and abolitionists.

seeing both the parts and the whole. The book presents different
aspects of Judith-poet, teaching artist, friend, mentor,
colleague-through a collection of original poetry, prose, essay,
illustration, and fiction from 33 contributors. In so doing, it
echoes her own determination to perceive contradiction without
judgment. For the next generation of teaching artists in

qualities needed to survive and thrive in a multi-faceted,
ever-changing environment. The book is divided into four sections,
separated by riveting black and white pencil drawings inspired by
the lives of those serving life in prison without possibility of
parole. In Unfinished Conversations, contributors share their bond
with Judith Tannenbaum through prose and excerpts from letters both
real and imagined. In the second section, After December, poets
reflect on the life, artistry, and legacy of Judith. The third
section, Looking and Listening, focuses on the truth-seeking

"The present book by Professor Ser-Huang Poon surveys this
literature carefully and provides a very useful summary of the
results available. By so doing, she allows any interested worker to
quickly catch up with the field and also to discover the areas that
are still available for further exploration."
--Sir Clive W. J. Granger, University of California in San
Diego
"Professor Poon exposes in her book current state-of-the-art
volatility forecasting methods. Beginning with a description of
various conditional volatility models, be it discrete or
continuous, the link with option pricing models is well
established. The book proceeds with surveying the current
volatility literature: what type of volatility should be used to
price options, how can volatility of various assets be predicted,
how volatility can be used within a value-at-risk setting. This
well written book should be useful both for the practitioner and
the academic/student interested in volatility."
--Professor Michael Rockinger, FAME and University of Lausanne,
