Title: Too academic, already outdated
Review: This is a collection of survey papers on volatility techniques. It's very academic, which means most of the papers are useless. There is not a single article I like, and no successful practioners I know of uses these techniques. Successful models are often simple and straightforward and it's the human who employs these models that make a difference. This book was published shortly before the collapse of Long Term Capital, and most of the contents are already sorely out-of-date.
