    About this ebook

    Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a Lebanese born American literateur, scholar, essayist, trade-cum-risk analyst, statistician and so on.
    His multi-faceted talent and the ability to wander freely amongst diverse faculty of subjects have made him a force to reckon with in the gamut of global intellectual society. Most of Taleb's works are related to the dilemma of volatility, probability and uncertainty.
    Nicholas Taleb was born in Amioun (Lebanon) in the year 1960. He is an author of international fame and has served as an academician in several universities and is currently positioned as a distinguished professor of Risk Engineering at the New York University (Tandon School of Engineering).
    He has authored so many books to devour. The Black Swan, Antifragile, Skin in the Game, Fooled by Randomness, The Bed of Procrustes, Dynamic Hedging to name a few (combinedly called Incerto) are termed as Taleb's most outstanding creations in the contemporary literary world.
    Nassim Nicholas Taleb has had devoted a good 21 years as a risk-taker (quantitative trader) before becoming a wanderer and researcher in spheres of mathematics, philosophy and largely potential problems with chance and probability. Over and above being impressed as a trader, Taleb has also written over 50 academic articles in multiple subjects as a sequel to Incerto.
    The topics covered are from physics, philosophy, statistics, economics, ethics, quantitative finance and international affairs.
    The central idea in all these creations has centered on the notion of risk and probability with an undercurrent of randomness.

      Summary

      On the eventful hurricane season of 2006, the National Hurricane Center in the United States came up with a forecast of hyperactive precipitation of approximately 8 to 10 successive cyclonic bouts. But ultimately, the ground reality was very straightforward, matching the average precedence. In the early decades of 2006, The Wall Street Journal predicted a dismal year for stocks. Interestingly, The Dow Jones Industrial Average shot up by 16% during the said
