From the reviews:

The book is based on authors Ph.D. Thesis entitled Pricing Interest  Rate Derivatives with Fourier Transform Techniques. The main objective of this research work was to derive an efficient and accurate pricing tool for interest rate derivatives within a Fourier transform pricing approach, which is generally applicable to exponential-affine jump-diffusion models. & the book is very useful for the research workers also in field of the pricing interest rate derivatives. The book is concluded with an exhaustive bibliography on the topic. (C. L. Parihar, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1154, 2009)
