From the reviews: "The book proposes an ample set of both theoretical and empirical contributions in the field of Econophysics and is worth reading particularly for those who are interested in the application of physics to economic and financial topics. ... it presents recent advances in this field and it deserves attention by more advanced readers, especially those interested in cross-disciplinary analyses."
