Python for Asset Management
The asset management industry is undergoing a paradigm shift toward automation, transparency, and data-driven decision-making. Traditional tools (Excel, Bloomberg) are being replaced by programmable, scalable solutions. Yet, most finance professionals lack accessible, practical training in applying Python to real portfolio problems.Python For Asset Management fills that gap. The book empowers non-programmers—portfolio managers, risk analysts, and students—to implement advanced models themselves. It responds to the growing demand for quantitative literacy in finance, especially in sustainable investing and smart beta strategies, areas of active research for both of the authors.Features31 hands-on Python exercises with real data and executable code.Complete GitHub repository (MIT License) with all scripts, data pipelines, and results.Step-by-step implementation of VaR (historical, parametric, Monte Carlo), bond immunization, and factor models.Real-world decision tools — e.g., build a bullet/barbell/ladder bond portfolio, run Brinson-Fachler attribution, or backtest smart beta vs. index.Immediate applicability — every exercise produces a deliverable (e.g., optimal weights, risk report, attribution table) ready for client meetings.Focus on practical asset management workflows, not just theory.

Cervantes the Poet
Cervantes the Poet travels from the court of Isabel de Valois to Rome, Naples, Palermo, Algiers, and Madrid's barrio de las letras. Recovering Cervantes' nearly forty-year literary career before the publication of Don Quijote, Gabrielle Ponce-Hegenauer demonstrates the cultural, literary, and theoretical significance of Cervantes' status as a late-sixteenth-century itinerant poet. This study recovers the generative literary milieus and cultural practices of Spain's most famous novelist in order to posit a new theory of the modern novel as an organic transformation of lyric practices native to the late-sixteenth century and Cervantes' own literary outlook.

Substance of Cervantes
There have been many interpretations of Cervantes' works over the centuries. In this 1986 book, John G. Weiger examines what he considers to be the 'substance' of Cervantes: the writer's attitude toward originality, his concern for the reader's visualization of the action and the setting, his understanding of optical illusion, his use of the commonplace, and his view of himself in relation to his contemporaries. Weiger explores Cervantes' use of these and related elements, such as imitation, parody, and the reading process, in Don Quixote, the Exemplary Tales, La Galatea, Persiles y Sigismunda, and some of his theatrical works. Of interest to students as well as scholars of Spanish and world literature, this book offers more than exegetical explication. Rather, it is an examination of the foundation upon which Cervantes constructed his works, from the early La Galatea (1585) to the posthumously published Persiles y Sigismunda (1617).

Cervantes in Algiers
Returning to Spain after fighting in the Battle of Lepanto and other Mediterranean campaigns against the Turks, the soldier Miguel de Cervantes was captured by Barbary pirates and taken captive to Algiers. The five years he spent in the Algerian bagnios or prison-houses (1575-1580) made an indelible impression on his works. From the first plays and narratives written after his release to his posthumous novel, the story of Cervantes's traumatic experience continuously speaks through his writings. This text offers a comprehensive view of his life as a slave and, particularly, of the lingering effects this traumatic experience had on his literary production.
