As interest rate markets continue to innovate and expand it is becoming increasingly important to remain up-to-date with the latest practical and theoretical developments. This book covers the latest developments in full, with descriptions and implementation techniques for all the major classes of interest rate models-both those actively used in practice as well as theoretical models still 'waiting in the wings'. Interest rate models, implementation methods and estimation issues are discussed at length by the authors as are important new developments such as kernel estimation techniques, economic based models, implied pricing methods and models on manifolds. Providing balanced coverage of both the practical use of models and the theory that underlies them, Interest Rate Modelling adopts an implementation orientation throughout, making it an ideal resource for both practitioners and researchers.

Shades of Gray: A Novel of the Civil War in Virginia

Contemporary

Patriot Press

Winner of the John Esten Cook Award for Southern Fiction. Winner of numerous national awards and an Amazon bestselling author, Jessica James has received critical acclaim for this page-turning story of honor, self-sacrifice, and enduring love. Praised by both historians and romance readers since its original release in 2008, the award-winning historical fiction novel Shades of Gray now has a new ending in this special 150th Anniversary of the Civil War Commemorative Edition entitled Noble Cause. James uniquely blends elements of romantic and historical fiction in this deeply personal and poignant tale that, according to one reviewer, "transcends the pages to settle in the very marrow of the reader's bones." This is the tale of Colonel Alexander Hunter, a dauntless and daring Confederate cavalry officer, who, with his band of intrepid outcasts, becomes a legend in the rolling hills of northern Virginia. Inspired by love of country and guided by a sense of duty and honor, Hunter must make a desperate choice when he discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he vowed to his men he would destroy. Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the paths of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever. Destined for an honored place among the classics of the America Civil War, Noble Cause is a book to read, and keep, and remember forever. 2011 John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction 2011 Next Generation Indie Award for Regional Fiction 2011 Finalist in Next Generation Indie Award contest in Romance and Historical Fiction catgories

The words are like magic.” – Julia Miller Another timeless Civil War novel about commitment, honor and faith from historical romance author Jessica James, the first two-time winner of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction. Confederate Civil War spy Sarah Irene Duvall lives alone and friendless in her homeland as she pretends to support the Union cause while secretly providing information to a rebel officer. Cavalry commander Douglas Benton would much rather flirt with a woman than work with one. When he finds out that the virtuous and devout Sarah Duvall is the spy who has been providing him with valuable information, he fervently resists the arrangement. But Benton soon discovers there is more to being a good soldier than leading a cavalry charge. When Sarah makes a selfless sacrifice, he learns the most important lessons of all: That faith is more important than glory—and love more important than life.

Historical FX options data gives you the whole story for more informed strategy FX Options Performance is a practical handbook for successfully navigating the FX options market. Beginning with a quick overview of the market, its participants, and its products, the book then travels back in time to examine the historical payoffs to the most popular and liquidly traded option types.

The discussion also covers emerging markets and reveals truly surprising facts you won't find anywhere else — including corporate hedging strategies that reveal, in many cases, significant potential savings. Historically, some option selling strategies have been profitable, though high risk, but this book delves into the historical data to show which strategies have actually worked in the past, why they worked, and how you can mitigate risks. The companion website provides all of the detailed data in the book — over 100 tables — as easily downloadable data sets, so you can quickly start replicating these calculations and see for yourself how some simple estimates reveal historical anomalies. FX options are enormously popular, but there are many fundamental facts about the market that are generally unknown.
