--Bernard Dumas, Rothschild Professor of Banking, Professor of Finance, INSEAD

"This is the definitive work on derivatives. It is a comprehensive treatment of the theory, practice, and institutional detail of derivatives; excellent both as a learning tool and as a reference work. Rare for such a work, it is also fun to read."
--T. Eric Kilcollin, Managing Member, Sanborn Kilcollin Partners, LLC former president and CEO, Chicago Mercantile Exchange

"A definitive book by one of the great teachers of derivatives and risk management. It is thoughtful and comprehensive, yet accessible to both students and practitioners of finance. Derivatives fills a glaring lacuna and should be required reading for those serious about derivatives and risk management."
--Campbell R. Harvey, J. Paul Sticht Professor of International Business Fuqua School of Business, Duke University

"An all-encompassing presentation of the world of derivatives, Bob's book promises to illuminate the subject for the theoretician and practitioner alike. Few other books on the subject are as comprehensive--and as comprehensible. It clearly demonstrates why he is widely recognized as the definitive expert on derivative instruments."
--Joe Levin, Vice President, Research and Product Development Chicago Board Options Exchange
