“The layout of the book is well done and very easy to read. From my experience, there are not many books of a similar approach; I believe it is quite unique in its nature. … it provides an incredible amount of information that researchers interested in both mathematical and applied finance will find it a useful resource to learn basic asset behavior. The level is right for all researchers in the area with a master’s degree in statistics.” (Stergios B. Fotopoulos, Technometrics, Vol. 58 (3), August, 2016)“The book aims to synthesize the present status of the field, but it also represents a subjective snapshot of the current situation, as viewed by the author. It is written in a very concise and elegant way, explaining the notation used as it is required. … This book is definitely recommended to anyone (practitioners, quants, academics orgraduate students) interested in attaining a deeper understanding of the dynamics of prices, as well as the corresponding stylized facts … .” (Omar Rojas, MAA Reviews, January, 2013)

"This is a very important book. Without economic reductionism Petras and Veltmeyer expose the astonishing level of greed, exploitation and inequality, associated with the world capitalist system. They also provide a sharp and much-needed class analysis of the contradictions of both capitalism and imperialism, and the propensity towards crisis that has assumed global proportions and undermined the foundations of the system as well as generating powerful forces of resistance and class warfare." –John Saxe-Fernandez, Professor of Latin American Studies, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; author of inter alia, Crisis e imperialismo, La energía en México. Situación y alternativas, Economic Imperialism in Mexico: The Operations of the World Bank in our Country.
"The particular value of this timely book is that it provides a critical perspective on the destructive impacts of a world capitalist system in crisis. It not only addresses the worldwide dynamics of capitalist development, but also the forces of resistance generated by these dynamics as well as proposals for alternative futures advanced within both the popular sector and academe. It is an analytical tool of vital interest to both academic researchers and students within the broad field of international development studies, political economy and sociology." – Richard L Harris, Professor Emeritus of Global Studies at California State University, Monterey Bay. Managing Editor, Journal of Developing Societies and Director of the Transpacific Project.
"This timely book superbly analyzes in class terms US interventionism, the faltering of Latin America's progressive reforms, right-wing comebacks for neoliberalism in Brazil, Argentina, and elsewhere, and the combined anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist class struggle in Venezuela. Theoretically and politically acute, it is a must acquisition for libraries, journalists, academics, and activists." — James Cockcroft, Honorary Editor Latin American Perspectives, USA
"This book is a lively, engaging and lucid analysis of the diverse practices of the class struggles taking place in multiple sites by indigenous peoples, unemployed workers, landless peasants, local communities and students. It powerfully illuminates the demise of the ‘pink tide’ as well as the rise of, and turn to, the right; always persuasively stressing the centrality of class struggle. Required reading for those wishing to gain an understanding of the class forces shaping contemporary Latin America." — Cristóbal Kay, Emeritus Professor of the International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam; and Professorial Research Associate of the Department of Development Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
‘In this stimulating book James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer analyse recent social transformations in Latin America. They highlight how despite continual elite opposition, the region’s poor attempt and succeed in generating progressive social change. The authors argue, moreover, that struggles from below have the capacity to generate further and more profound transformations in the future. This book will be of great value to anyone interested in contemporary Latin America.’ — Professor Benjamin Selwyn, University of Sussex, UK

Tall buildings are not only attractive due to their architectural design but they are here to stay. They 'have been a response and a consequence of economic and industry change' as stated by the author of the book. As economies grow they will become more numerous and the importance of a good environmental performance will increase. This book tells us how to go about it. Jose Goldemberg, Professor and former Rector of the University of Sao Paulo (USP), Brazil, and Time Magazine 'Hero of the Environment' 
As well as being a thorough and beautifully illustrated review of tall buildings around the world, this book enquires into the balance between architectural, economic and climatic factors that influence their design. Its strength is that it challenges claims made about the environmental performance of tall buildings, and opens up questions about their actual performance in use, rather than results based on computer simulations. Similarly, the 'double skin', often promoted as a universal solution, is also viewed with a critical eye. The growth of tall buildings seems to be inevitable, and for those concerned with their sustainability, this comprehensive book is essential reading. Nick V. Baker, The Martin Centre, Department of Architecture, University of Cambridge 
This excellent book is a virtual encyclopaedia of concerns, knowledge and environmental strategy relating to the design of the high rise building. Overview, analysis, clear environmental design approaches and a plethora of key exemplar buildings across the world make this book essential reading for architects of a high rise future. Mike Davis, Director, Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, UK 
...this book is, without doubt, produced by experts and will be a valuable addition to the body of knowledge supporting this important aspect of our industry. Dave Pythian BA MSc FBEng MRICS, Building Engineer

'This book is a timely addition to the basic literature in this emerging field, given the recent huge surge in interest (and funding) the area. It is a text that graduate students starting out in graphene or carbon nanotubes should buy. The theoretical background and survey of important literature will provide an excellent grounding and reference for people entering the field. The book is visually attractive with clear diagrams. The style is rigorous but approachable and the content assumes basic undergraduate physics. I found the book to be accessible to those with a chemistry background too. It is pitched at the right level for research students or final year undergraduates in the physical sciences. There are two main areas of content: (1) theoretical background; (2) preparation and applications of these materials. On the theoretical side, I found the coverage of metallicity in nanotubes particularly appealing. For a chemist, the synthesis sections are very interesting and well described. These would fit well into a course about carbon nanotubes. Similarly, the chapter on the functionalisation of graphene is appealing. I enjoyed the rigorous but readable style. This text will complement many higher-level lecture courses and research projects.'—Dr Timothy J Prior, Lecturer in Chemistry, University of Hull"In this easy-to-follow textbook, the authors bring the exciting science of carbon nanostructures, from fullerenes to nanotubes and graphene, down to the level of senior undergraduate students. Having evolved from a University course on the same topic, this book builds up on basic understanding of physical phenomena, which science students typically acquire in the first two semesters, and a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics. Graphene turns out to be especially suitable for the introduction of concepts such as direct and reciprocal lattice, electronic and phonon band structure and density
