"This is the first book I have seen to carefully cover such a wide set of topics in both theoretical and applied fixed-income modelling, ranging from the use of market information to obtain yield curves, to the pricing and hedging of bonds and fixed-income derivatives, to the currently active topic of defaultable yield curve modelling. It will be particularly useful to practitioners." Darrell Duffie, Stanford University

"This is the most comprehensive theoretical treatment of the subject Ive ever seen." Mark Rubinstein, Haas School of Business, University of California
