This book is required at Harvard Business School and is used at top B-schools and bank management trainee programs around the country.
I used the book during my MBA program, even though it was not required. My study group members always requested that I bring it to group meetings. I even had a classmate approach the author (who happens to be my father) at my graduation and ask for his autograph.
The book introduces complex finance concepts like net present value in non-academese language and the real-world examples reinforce the concepts.
I strongly recommend this textbook to anyone preparing to enter business school or embarking on a job in financial analysis.
Professor Higgins is a beloved teacher at his home institution, the University of Washington. You can share in a little of his vast expertise and gift for teaching by reading his book, Analysis for Financial Management.

This is one of the few finance texts I have read that can provide a solid financial introduction to the novice student and can also fine-tune the skills of the accomplished financial professional.

Professor Higgins accomplishes this feat by presenting a wealth of financial knowledge through remarkably clear and concise explanations of financial theory and application.

I have three books leaning against my computer at work: A dictionary, a thesaurus, and Professor Higgins' "Analysis for Financial Management."
