The practical wisdom and current thinking of GSB faculty are featured in The Complete Finance Companion. The book is the latest in a series published by the Financial Times in collaboration with some of the world's top business schools. The British business newspaper turned to the GSB, Wharton, and the London Business School for the latest financial expertise, publishing articles by faculty form all three schools last summer in a special 12-week series called "Mastering Finance." Revised versions of the articles have been compiled in this volume, which serves as a guide for anyone who is interested in applying the latest principles and practices of finance theory. Articles cover 13 general subjects in three core areas: corporate finance, investments and financial markets. GSB contributors include Robert Z. Aliber, Nicholas Barberis, Steven N. Kaplan, Anil Kashyap, Randall Kroszner, Richard Leftwich, Raghuram Rajan, Kathering Schipper, Richard Thaler, Linda Vincent, and Luigi Zingales.

The Complete Finance Companion ($39.95, Financial Times Pitman Publishing) is, by far, one of the most impressive I've seen in a long time. It's subtitled "The Latest in Financial Principles and Practice from the World's Best Finance Schools", and draws upon the accumulated wisdom of The Wharton School, The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, and the London Business School.
