From the Publisher
Examples have been updated, vignettes changed, numbers modified and statements checked for currency and historical accuracy, and exercises and examples have been modified or added to so that the text is even more practical, pedagogically effective and current.
Very practical text, with many real world examples embedded throughout. Each chapter opens with a real-world vignette to motivate students to learn the issues in the respective chapter.
Each chapter includes a set of learning objectives to help the student understand what should be learned and mastered from each chapter.
Virtually every chapter includes numerous examples and case studies, some hypothetical and some real, that help students gain insight into some of the most interesting and sophisticated realms of financial theory and practice.
Major results and key words and concepts are highlighted throughout each chapter. In addition, the functional use of color is deliberately and carefully done in order to call out important topics.
Practical Insights is a feature that contains unique guidelines to help students identify the important practical issues faced by the financial manager and where to look in that part of the text to help analyze those issues. This feature enables the book to serve as a reference as well as a primer on finance. Practical Insight boxes are located at the end of each of the six parts.
Executive Perspective feature provides the reader with testimonials from important financial executives, who have looked over parts of the book and highlight what issues and topics are especially important from the practicing executive's perspective. Examples include Myron S. Scholes, Thomas E. Copeland, David C. Shimko. These are also found at the end of each of the six parts, just after the Practical Insights feature.
Increased accessibility through careful topic selection (both deletions of content as well as additional new content).
A new brief section on private equity in Chapter 3, Equity Financing.
Some of the more difficult mathematical material has been cut, and made less intimidating by using narrative discussion vs. mathematical formulas, such as chapter five's discussion of mean-variance analysis.
Chapter 7 includes a new discussion about the lessons learned from the fate of Long Term Capital Management. It also includes a section about market frictions and their implications for derivative securities pricing and the management of derivatives portfolios.
Chapter 8 includes an expanded section on covered interest rate parity.
New Chapter 9: Discounting and Valuation This chapter was created based on reviewer feedback asking for a chapter that covers the key ingredients of valuation: accounting, cash flows, and basic discounting
Chapter 10 provides a more in-depth discussion of the equivalent annual cost approach and has several new results.
Chapter 11 has an expanded discussion of the distinction between firm betas and project betas and provides several new explanations for why these might differ. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Format:Paperback
This book is recommended as part of a course in Finance at the LSE which is why I got it (Amazon being the only place I could find it). It has some good parts and explains concepts quite well but seems to lack a more intuitive approach that seems detached from the real world (such is the nature of Academia I guess!). It can be quite wordy and occasionally uses mathematical parts that seem to be there for the sake of it. Having said that, there are some useful examples. My biggest problem is that graphs are occasionally removed from their explanations so you can get all confused looking at the wrong figure. However, the best thing about this book is that, at the end of each chapter there are the key points. So if you're lazy like me, you don't need read all the useless bits but instead find what you're looking for at the end and then refer back to relevant bit (which is marked clearly in the chapter) if you want more explanation. Quite a good book on the whole but not exactly bed time reading, I recommend it if you want to pass a more advanced undergraduate exam and actually know what you're talking about

At last! A complex subject matter that has been explored and explained in an absorbing and alluring manner. This book affords a fascinating insight with often amusing practical examination and I would advocate this to be a 'must-have' purchase for any teacher / practitioner / student in this field or indeed from any related fields.
Not only an updated edition of this publication, but I would suggest an upgraded edition that endures to offer and indeeed succeeds in supplying an advancement of this subject matter.
