Guide to the Silent Years of American Cinema

By: Christophe P. Jacobs,Donald McCaffrey

The latest offering from the Reference Guides to the World's Cinema series, this critical survey of key films, actors, directors, and screenwriters during the silent era of the American cinema offers a broad-ranging portrait of the motion picture production of silent film. Detailed but concise alphabetical entries include over 100 film titles and 150 personnel. An introductory chapter explores the early growth of the new silent medium while the final chapter of this encyclopedic study examines the sophistication of the silent cinema. These two chapters outline film history from its beginnings until the perfection of synchronized sound, and reflect upon the themes and techniques established with the silent cinema that continued into the sound era through modern times. The annotated entries, alphabetically arranged by film title or personnel, include brief bibliographies and filmographies. An appendix lists secondary but important movies and their creators. Film and popular culture scholars will appreciate the vast amount of information that has been culled from various sources and that builds upon the increased studies and research of the past ten years.

A Time Series Approach to Option Pricing

Models, Methods and Empirical Performances

By: Christophe Chorro,Dominique Guégan,Florian Ielpo

The current world financial scene indicates at an intertwined and interdependent relationship between financial market activity and economic health. This book explains how the economic messages delivered by the dynamic evolution of financial asset returns are strongly related to option prices. The Black Scholes framework is introduced and by underlining its shortcomings, an alternative approach is presented that has emerged over the past ten years of academic research, an approach that is much more grounded on a realistic statistical analysis of data rather than on ad hoc tractable continuous time option pricing models. The reader then learns what it takes to understand and implement these option pricing models based on time series analysis in a self-contained way. The discussion covers modeling choices available to the quantitative analyst, as well as the tools to decide upon a particular model based on the historical datasets of financial returns. The reader is then guided into numerical deduction of option prices from these models and illustrations with real examples are used to reflect the accuracy of the approach using datasets of options on equity indices.

Brussels Gay Friendly

By: Christophe Cordier

Les lois pionnières en matière de mariage et d'adoption pour les homosexuels ont depuis quelques années permis à Bruxelles de s'afficher clairement comme l’une des capitales les plus gay friendly d’Europe. À travers ses nombreux bars, lieux de sortie, restaurants, boutiques, musées ou événements, Bruxelles vous accueille et vous invite à faire la fête jusqu’au petit matin. Fidèle à la réputation de la capitale, la scène gay bruxelloise est discrète, variée et chaleureuse, comme en témoignent les portraits de Bruxellois repris dans ce Brussels Gay Friendly. Rédigé par Christophe Cordier, collaborateur régulier du magazine Têtu, ce guide répertorie les meilleurs plans « gay » de la capitale mais s’attarde également sur les lieux touristiques incontournables (la Grand-Place, le quartier Dansaert, le Cinquantenaire, le Sablon...). Ce guide est structuré en trois grandes parties : adresses et bons plans « gay » (bars, restaurants, lieux de sortie, shopping, cruising, sport et beauté, événements, logement), infos touristiques et portraits.

Let yourself be guided by the hand, the eye and the hart. Brussels and its thousand faces welcomes you with open arms for an unforgetable moment, full of rich memories you won’t resist coming back. As Belgium has been one of the most progressive countries talking about marriage and adoption for homosexuals, its capital, Brussels has become one of the most gay friendly cities in Europe. With its many bars, restaurants, nightspots, shops, museums and events, Brussels is a welcoming place that invites you to party 'til dawn. True to the reputation of the capital, Brussels' gay scene is discrete, varied and warm, as illustrated by portraits of the city's inhabitants included in this Brussels Gay Friendly guide. Written by Christophe Cordier, regular collaborator with Têtu magazine, this guide lists the best "gay" hotspots in the capital as well as the essential tourist sites (the Grand-Place, the Dansaert area, the Cinquentenaire, the Sablon...). The book is divided into three main parts : addresses and “gay” tips (Bars, Nightlife, Restaurants, Shopping, Cruising, Sport and Beauty, Events, Accommodation), touristic information and portraits. It is also available in French.
