Finds new relations between existing classes of risk measures
Describes applications in finance and extends them where possible
Presents the theory of probability metrics in a more accessible form which would be appropriate for non-specialists in the field
Applications include optimal portfolio choice, risk theory, and numerical methods in finance
Topics requiring more mathematical rigor and detail are included in technical appendices to chapters
