From the Author
This book was written with the student reader very much in mind. It has benefited from student input throughout the writing and editorial process. While not as encyclopaedic as other books in this area, it presents a much easier-to-read introduction to Finance, which is of benefit to those without any background in the subject as well as those with a talent in the area.
