""I am sitting in Donza, the best coffeeshop in Deinze, reading Runhuan Feng's new book. WHAT A MARVELOUS BOOK!!! Full of very interesting facts, very well written at the right level. There should be more actuarial books like that. Congratulations Runhuan Feng for the highly valuable text."" ~Jan Dhaene, KU Leuven ""I think this book should be seen from two different angles. For those who approach it from an insurance context with little prior knowledge as an introduction to the topic, I believe it will be very useful, especially as it is relatively self-contained due to the introductory chapters, and the focus on insurance terminology and examples will appeal to practitioners. For those interested in the more advanced topics but approaching it from non-insurance elds, there are some topics covered here as well that should help raise the interest in the eld and its applications, one example being the sections on risk measures and comonotonic approximation in Chapters 5 and 7."" ~Philipp Dorsek, Mathematical Reviews Oct. 2019 ""I am sitting in Donza, the best coffeeshop in Deinze, reading Runhuan Feng's new book.
