"Simon's book is a lucid survey of the phenomenon..." - Foreign Affairs"Lone Wolf Terrorism is a wake-up call to those who view terrorism solely as a threat that comes from large groups acting through well-organized networks. This mistaken view often leads to the conclusion that fighting terrorism is like waging a war with large military units. Instead it is often more akin to a police action fighting the mafia or looking to catch an individual criminal. Understanding the threat from lone wolf terrorists greatly improves our ability to combat the threat that confronts us."- David L. Boren, former US senator, longest serving chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, and current president of the University of Oklahoma"Relying on a selective, but broad, gathering of case studies, Simon presents a lively and well-paced overview of a subject that is attracting increasing attention."- John Mueller, PhD, Ohio State University, coauthor of Terror, Security, and Money"Jeffrey D. Simon has provided a most lucid, concise, revealing, and fascinating analysis of the lone wolf - an intermittent feature of modern terror since the 1880s. Simon, a well-known, serious, and respected scholar of terrorism, examines the various purposes lone wolves serve and the reasons they have become so difficult to deal with. In addition, he develops an interesting and useful strategy to cope with them. Everyone interested in terrorism will recognize the importance of this classic study."-David Rapoport, founder and coeditor of the Journal of Terrorism and Political Violence and author of The Four Waves of Modern Terror: An Essay in Generations"This book is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand one of the foremost threats of our time.

Richard Sandor wants to make it clear that "derivative" is not a dirty word. It's one motivation behind his latest book, "Good Derivatives: A Story of Financial and Environmental Innovation." It's a case that Sandor is well-equipped to make. As a young economist at the Chicago Board of Trade, he helped create interest rate futures-derivatives that revolutionized worldwide finance. Later, he pioneered the use of emissions trading to reduce acid rain and greenhouse gases, creating the Chicago Climate Exchange and affiliated exchanges in Europe and China. At this Milken Institute Forum, Sandor will discuss how financial innovation has been a force for good in the last 40 years and how its vast potential can address environmental, health and social challenges in the next 40 years. "This book represents the work of one of the world's most brilliant, inquisitive, and visionary minds," according to Clayton Yeutter, former USDA secretary and U.S. trade representative. "Richard Sandor knows this subject as an economist, a trader, an executive, an entrepreneur, but most of all, as a teacher. No one else in the world could have written this book." Sandor is chairman and CEO of Environmental Financial Products LLC, which specializes in inventing, designing, and developing new financial markets with a special emphasis on investment advisory services. EFP was established in 1998 and was the predecessor company and incubator to the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), the European Climate Exchange (ECX), and the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange (CCFE). Sandor was honored by the city of Chicago for his contributions, and he was one of Time's "Heroes of the Environment" in 2007. A Milken Institute senior fellow, Sandor is a Distinguished Professor of Environmental Finance at Guanghua School of Management at Peking University and a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School.
