Icarus at the Edge of Time

Brian Greene

Knopf, 2008

Donna Jackson Nakazawa

Touchstone, 2008

Autoimmune disease, environment and medicine all in one place

Grand Read about the Grand Canyon

Quantitative Trading Strategies (The Irwin Trader's Edge Series)

Lars Kestner

McGraw-Hill, 2003

Not substantive enough
I must agree with reviewer Ira Balli from London below. This book lacks substantive information regarding the quantitative methods and therefore is merely an introduction to quant ideas that have been discussed in the marketplace. Of course, anyone who might have ...
