For more than five decades, gangs have played a pivotal role in New Zealand crime life, beginning with the bodgies and widgies of the 1950s. Based on 10 years of gang research, this book chronicles the rise of the Hell’s Angels and other bike gangs in the 1960s, the growth of the Mongrel Mob and Black Power in the 1970s, and organized crime during the last decade. With descriptions of such events as the Devil’s Henchmen throwing Molotov cocktails at the Epitaph Riders in Christchurch’s first gang war and Black Power members surrounding Prime Minister Rob Muldoon at Wellington’s Royal Tiger Tavern, it also discusses the significance of colors and class. With accounts from gang members, police, and politicians, this violent and sometimes horrifying book transports its readers to a tough yet revealing part of New Zealand life.

Jarrow (investment management, Cornell U.) and Chatterjea (business, U. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) present a textbook introducing derivatives to graduate and undergraduate students of business. Their treatment is distinctly economic rather than quantitative, and they emphasize risk management. After introductory chapters, they cover forwards and futures, options, and interest rate derivatives. Among the topics are stocks, arbitrage and trading, the extended cost-of-carry model, the multi-period binomial model, and interest rate swaps.

Un emozionante errabondaggio nella Mosca tra i due secoli con continui spostamenti nel tempo e nello spazio. Vagando a piedi per le strade della città, ora sfrecciando in carrozza, ora a bordo di un omnibus, ora trascinandosi tra quartieri desolati e fetidi cortili, ora nei cunicoli delle fogne, ora in sfarzosi palazzi e club esclusivi il lettore si trova immerso nella pulsante frenesia della città, tra torme di miserandi o celebri personaggi del mondo dell'arte e della cultura. Nel turbinio della narrazione ecco che finirà al mercato della Sucharevka, nel ventre di Mosca, l'Ochotnyj rjad, nei bassifondi della Chitrovka, nella vita notturna di ristoranti e bettole, ai celebri bagni Sandunovskie, nel bel mezzo di un disastroso incendio, all'ippodromo della Begovaja o tra i postiglioni della Ljubjanka. E ancora nelle case da gioco clandestine, nei lupanari o al Club della Caccia, nelle segrete di una prigione dismessa o al Club Inglese, nell'atelier di un rinomato pittore o nel negozio di un celebre coiffeur, e infine ai magazzini Eliseev o al famoso forno di Filippov... ora in compagnia di artisti e letterati, ora tra ladri e assassini, poliziotti corrotti o eroici pompieri. Leggendo questo libro con ingenuo entusiasmo viene da gridare: "A Mosca, a Mosca!!".

From Christian Piatt: "When I was a teenager, my youth minister threw a bible at my head for asking questions." Too often, for various reasons, people don't have the opportunity to ask the hard questions they have about faith, religion, salvation and the bible. And when questions are left unanswered in communities of faith, people either seek answers elsewhere or lose interest all together. The purpose of the series is to collect the most compelling and challenging questions from various theological areas and pose them to a panel of "experts" who are challenged with responding in two hundred words or less in plain English. This volume addresses challenging or controversial questions about scripture collected from people on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking media. Respondents include theology professors, clergy, lay leaders, liberals, conservatives and voices representing a spectrum of views. The idea behind the books is not so much to provide definitive answers as it is to stimulate thought, reflection and discussion. By offering multiple perspectives, readers have the opportunity to arrive at their own questions. Better, they come to understand that questioning faith is not taboo, but rather that it can be at the foundation of a strong and growing faith. The directive given to each respondent guided them to be concise and to speak in plan language, but also not to rely exclusively on "the Bible says it" justifications, or to wax abstract or overly intellectual. Instead, they write from personal experience as much as possible, and provide real-life contexts that will allow the average seeker or churchgoer to apply such ideas to their daily lives.

The 23 papers Jarrow (Cornell U.) collects in this volume are a subset of his work in mathematical finance, focused on the topics of financial derivatives and risk management, which are topics of current concern due to the 2007 financial crisis. The papers are presented in three sections related to option pricing theory and its foundations, particularly the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model; stochastic interest rates; and credit risk, involving pricing financial derivatives considering both stochastic interest rates and the likelihood of default. The papers, according to the Nobel Laureate economist Robert C. Merton, are "Relevant, rigorous, and right on the mark in problem-selection."
