Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Now in its eighth edition, this best-selling and highly regarded textbook offers a complete introduction to financial management and corporate finance. Though it is predominantly theoretical in focus, Corporate Finance: Theory and Practice takes a relatively non-mathematical approach which offers textual explanations in a very accessible style.The authors' educational experience is apparent throughout the book: worked examples are given after each explanation and all chapters include summaries, quick questions and more detailed practice questions.
