If you recognize this formula then you probably don't need to read Whoops! by John Lanchester. At WhatKatyRead this was our first book of the new year, and now we're up to speed with all Black and Scholes's tricks. Click through for our reviews and scores (or would you rather stay? Ok then, it scored 73). Pretty good ratings from us for a book about global finance. Definitely one we'd recommend. A thoughtful, and thought-provoking, review from someone who is definitely not a layman, Howard Davies, Director of the London School of Economics, on The Guardian's website here.
