Synopsis
The first Canadian edition of Practical Financial Management is the latest milestone in a journey in education shared by the authors. They believe that most finance texts are harder for students to understand than they should be. The issue is relatively unique to this field. Practical Financial Management is unique because of its approach to teaching finance; that approach is the result of a combination of classroom and practical experience. The book is easy to read, enjoyable, and non-intimidating. In other words, the text is accessible and the reviewers have been unanimous in their praise of the work's conversational style and readability.
