From the reviews of the first edition:
"This book regards financial point processes. … Valuable risk and liquidity measures are constructed by defining financial events in terms of price and /or the volume process. Several applications are illustrated." (Klaus Ehemann, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1081, 2006)
