Essays Honoring Dallas W. Smythe

Illuminating the Blindspots

"Edward Qian has been a significant researcher and practitioner in the area of risk parity, with his efforts extending further back than before he coined the term ‘risk parity.’ Risk Parity Fundamentals should be on the bookshelf of anyone considering or investing in multi-asset, risk-managed strategies like risk parity, both as a cover-to-cover read and as a quick reference manual."—Michael Campbell, MBA, CAIA, Deputy Chief Investment Officer, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), Toronto, Canada
"Edward Qian’s book is a must-read for both risk parity investors and practitioners. For investors, it is the ‘buyer’s guide’ of a financial product category with lots of buzz, but not many structures. For practitioners, it is a DIY book written by a leading practitioner and theorist. Skillfully illustrating complex mathematical concepts through easy-to-understand analogies, Dr. Qian makes his investment insights available to both quantitative and non-quantitative oriented audiences. Dr. Qian carefully examines many important debates regarding risk parity investing and offers his insightful analyses. We can all learn something new from Dr. Qian’s writing."—Ronald Hua, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs Asset Managements
"Dr. Edward Qian, the inventor of the term ‘risk parity,’ started to manage risk parity portfolios in 2006—long before the strategy gained popularity in recent years. This book was based on a collection of essays for investors that Dr. Qian wrote over the years. With additional effort, Dr. Qian turned it into a comprehensive framework on multi-asset investment, a ready-to-use textbook for serious investors. As an investor and then a portfolio manager of risk rarity strategy, I find Dr. Qian’s book serves as a great reference. It’s a must-have for people who are interested in asset allocation and multi-asset investing, with rigorous theory as well as real money management considerations."—Dr. Hua Fan, Senior Managing Director, Head of Fixed Income and Absolute Return Investment Department, China Investment Corp

"… Much progress by these authors and others over the past quarter century in modeling biological and other scientific phenomena make this differential equations textbook more valuable and better motivated than ever. … The writing is clear, though the modeling is not oversimplified. Overall, this book should convince math majors how demanding math modeling needs to be and biologists that taking another course in differential equations will be worthwhile. The coauthors deserve congratulations as well as course adoptions."—SIAM Review, Sept. 2010, Vol. 52, No. 3
"… Where this text stands out is in its thoughtful organization and the clarity of its writing. This is a very solid book … The authors succeed because they do a splendid job of integrating their treatment of differential equations with the applications, and they don’t try to do too much. … Each chapter comes with a collection of well-selected exercises, and plenty of references for further reading."—MAA Reviews, April 2010
Praise for the First Edition"A strength of [this book] is its concise coverage of a broad range of topics. … It is truly remarkable how much material is squeezed into the slim book’s 400 pages."—SIAM Review, Vol. 46, No. 1"It is remarkable that without the classical scheme (definition, theorem, and proof) it is possible to explain rather deep results like properties of the Fitz–Hugh–Nagumo model … or the Turing model. …This feature makes the reading of this text pleasant business for mathematicians. … [This book] can be recommended for students of mathematics who like to see applications, because it introduces them to problems on how to model processes in biology, and also for theoretically oriented students of biology, because it presents constructions of mathematical models and the steps needed for their investigations in a clear way and without references to other books."—EMS Newsletter"The title precisely reflects the contents of the book, a valuable addition to the growing literature in mathematical biology from a deterministic modeling approach. This book is a suitable textbook for multiple purposes. … Overall, topics are carefully chosen and well balanced. …The book is written by experts in the research fields of dynamical systems and population biology. As such, it presents a clear picture of how applied dynamical systems and theoretical biology interact and stimulate each other—a fascinating positive feedback whose strength is anticipated to be enhanced by outstanding texts like the work under review."—Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2004g

'These translations of Luce Irigaray's works will make a powerful contribution to feminist scholarship in philosophy, political theory, psycho-analysis, linguistics and poetics. Theorists of sexual difference will find a serious and subtle challenge in Irigaray's latest provocations.'- Judith Butler
'Luce Irigaray is, arguably, one of the most original and provocative feminist theorists in contemporary French though.' - Elizabeth Grosz

"Soul Coaching Practice: A must read for football and soccer coaches around the world."
Steven Means, Defensive End for the Atlanta Falcons - Super Bowl Winner and Voted the Atlanta Falcon’s NFL Man of the Year Award winner
"Football and the psychology of football is a very well trodden path. However, work such as this is a new in the field of depth psychology. This is a valuable contribution to a new area and should be considered by all deep thinking sports practitioners coaches and players. In an age where rational data driven statistical analysis has become tired and redundant, this is a fresh approach that can compliment the contribution made by earlier cognitive ideas and philosophies."

The Last Christmas

‘Indra Munshi's book on Patrick Geddes was a long-awaited event and should be celebrated by lovers of the city and urban life. She unravels nuances about the polymath sociologist as never before. Here, Geddes is contextualised in his roles as an urbanist, an educationist and a champion of the environment. Munshi's incisive critique of current environmental depredations, especially in Mumbai, validate Geddes' concerns for urban change, debunking some commonly held notions about urban planning and renewal.’Professor Mustansir Dalvi, Sir J. J. College of Architecture, Mumbai.
‘This book should be read by anyone interested in the study of Civics, a civics that prioritises the life and working of the city and is seen to be an order beneath which urban planning, architecture and all economic, legal and administrative matters operate. Munshi has put together scholarly and critical insights from a range of Geddes literature that enables both the Geddesian and non-Geddesian to understand his particular version of a biopolitical city. The socio-ecological foundations of the Indian city that Geddes first began to nurture a hundred years ago are outlined whilst underscoring the lessons for every city in our current ecologically vulnerable world.’
Dr Dorian Wiszniewski, Senior Lecturer, Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh. 

‘This is a comprehensive introduction to the amazingly perceptive and far-sighted work of Patrick Geddes, the pioneer sociologist, urban planner, ecologist and civic activist from Edinburgh who made Bombay his home. Capturing Geddes work and insights which have urgent relevance for today’s dystopian urbanism and environmentally destructive development pathways, Prof. Munshi offers a biography that is much more – drawing lessons for contemporary ecological crisis, providing a rigorous critique of neoliberal solutions, and serving as a resource for education, participatory urban planning, and resistance to unsustainable development.’
Professor D. Parthasarathy, Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT, Bombay.
