Project Financing: Asset-Based Financial Engineering (Wiley Finance)
$95.00
This book is great to develop a good understanding of Principles of project finance. The treatment is practical and reiterates the concepts through case studies.

Numerical Methods in Finance and Economics: A MATLAB-Based Introduction (Statistics in Practice)
$135.00
Very easy to read, very concrete book. The Matlab code is very helpful; however, it is not the fastest code. This makes sense, because the idea is to make the code consistent with the text.

I will probably buy this book for future reference.

Home-Based Business For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))
$19.99

The book did spend a lot of time talking about how to deal with family problems, creating a quiet workspace, setting work hours and how to get through a project when you have no desire. While some people might find this beneficial, it read like "filler" to me.

The book is organized, reader-friendly, and informative. Everything is covered in this book. From the types of businesses to how to market the business, to taxes and retirement, trademarks and other legal concerns. How to work from home when you've got kids, pets, aging parents, nosy neighbors, etc. Plus many web addresses that will help in your planning, ex. Better Business Bureau.

Paul Edwards shares his great knowledge in yet another book to help anyone start thier own business. I think this book is great, concise, and entertaining.

The Portable MBA in Finance and Accounting
$34.95
I bagan using the Portable MBA in Finance and Accounting for Executive MBA students in the Fall of 2007. A number of my students found the previous book difficult to understand. The Portable MBA answered their questions and brought together the subjects of accounting and finance better than any other book that I have found. It is this combination of the two subjects that are necessary for a top tier CFO and by extension to all who work with the CFO.

The book is thorough and brought rave reviews from students who had used other books and found them lacking. It is the right book for an aspiring C level executive regardless of discipline.
