*This book makes corporate finance interesting and stimulating in a language easily digestible, and is a reminder of the practical side of Corporate Finance. As a student I found the book to be the perfect balance of practicality and academia and it remains my first resource in my professional work." James Masacorale, Acquisitions Development Manager, Wolseley UK *The authors have combined academic analysis, theoretical excellence, in depth practical knowledge and an outright passion and enthusiasm for corporate financial strategy to produce a very user friendly, readable book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this latest edition and recommend it strongly to both academics and practitioners alike."
