The Mathematics of Banking offers an intermediate guide to the various techniques used in the industry, and a consideration of how each one should be approached. Written in a practical style, it will enable readers to quickly appreciate the purpose of the techniques and, through illustrations, see how they can be applied in practice. Coverage is extensive and includes techniques such as VaR analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, extreme value theory, variance and many others.

Handbook of Anti-Money Laundering details the most up-to-date regulations and provides practical guidance toward implementation. While most books focus on the regulations themselves, this useful guide goes further by explaining their meaning to bank operations, and how the rules apply to real-life scenarios. The international perspective provides a broader understanding of the anti-money laundering controls that are in place worldwide, with certain country-specific details discussed in-depth. Coverage includes the Wolfsberg Principles, Financial Action Task Force guidance, the U.S. Patriot Act, and the latest from both the EU and Bank for International Settlements.

The IMF estimates that two to five per cent of the global GDP – $590 billion to $1.5 trillion – is laundered every year. Globally, banks and other financial institutions have been required to put in place specific arrangements to prevent and detect money laundering and the criminal activity that underlies it. This book provides the latest regulations and guidance toward application.

In response to the increased monitoring and regulation, money launderers have become more sophisticated at disguising the source of their funds. Financial institutions'' employees must be ever more aware of what they''re facing, and how to deal with it, making actionable guidance a critical companion to any regulatory information. For financial institutions seeking more thorough understanding and practical advice, the Handbook of Anti-Money Laundering is a comprehensive guide.

Who is Boswell? 

Boswell is the pseudonym for an award-winning freelance photographer, stock photo agent, fashion and travel poster designer, book publisher, and former photo tour operator with an engaging, and sometimes controversial, story to tell.

You''ve likely seen his photos in national and international magazines, books and travel brochures, as well as on calendars and the internet. This book will describe how Boswell produced his prolific number of marketable photos as he built a successful business as a professional photographer, and how an inspiration during his early years in a rural Midwestern town of eighty-five led to a life spent traveling worldwide in 130 countries and territories on all seven continents.             

Filled with entertaining anecdotes and accompanied by 99 photos, Boswell''s journey takes readers inside some of the most colorful aspects of editorial and corporate photography:

The challenges of landing and executing magazine assignments, gaining "special access required" entrée to corridors of exclusivity and privilege, cruising the world''s seas and oceans, and "seeking serendipity" in the world''s streets, as well as uncovering some dark sides of the industry. 

Just a few stories include: Waiting for Mandela, chasing Doctor Death, repatriating skyjackers from Cuba, attending the opening session of Zimbabwe''s first parliament, surviving the Drake Passage, standing on stage with the Lord of the Dance, roving the pits with famous race drivers, hanging with a Piston Bad Boy, chumming with Sparky in the Tigers locker room, and being interviewed by the incomparable oral historian Studs Turkel while taking his portrait.

One of the first Americans to visit Mao''s China during the Cultural Revolution, Boswell returned over fifty times to produce books on China, including a very large one stolen by the French. Several chapters of his unlikely story are devoted to travels in China, how specializing in that country proved a key to his photographic success, and why he fell in love in a rice paddy.
