"If you start to feel queasy when the conversation turns to derivatives, this is the book for you. Finance professor Phelim Boyle and his fund
manager son, Feidhlim, have teamed up to demystify derivatives for
the layman in Derivatives: The Tools That Changed Finance.
Starting with the underlying concepts behind derivatives, this dynamic
duo explains what derivatives are, how they can decrease (or increase)
risk, and how they work. Using analogies of tennis matches, hanging
chads, and walks in the woods, the authors bring the concept of
derivatives down to earth. If your company uses derivatives to manage
risk, or you just want to know what they are all about, you'll get a
great education with this small investment."
