5.0 out of 5 stars A Natural Integration of Theory and Practice, June 25, 1999

This review is from: Global Corporate Finance (Hardcover)

This book appears to break new ground because it discusses every thoery with actual data and/ or real-world example. In addition, this book explains many things in a conversational tone and thus makes it very easy for me to understand the material. However, I would like to see more end-of-chapter problems and questions. Furthermore, I think that end-of-chapter cases should be a little more complex. Overall, though, the 4th edition of Global Corporate Finance is better than most books in the field.
