Review An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets (The Wiley Finance Series) / Wiley:An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets is the first book to explicitly show the linkages of markets for equities, currencies, fixed income and commodities. Using a unique structural approach, it dissects all markets the same way: into spot, forward and contingent dimensions, bringing out the simplicity and the commonalities of all markets. The book shuns stochastic calculus in favor of cash flow details of arbitrage trades. All math is simple, but there is lots of it. The book reflects the relative value mentality of an institutional trader seeking profit from misalignments of various market segments. The book is aimed at entrants into investment banking and dealing businesses, existing personnel in non-trading jobs, and people outside of the financial services industry trying to gain a view into what drives dealers in today’s highly integrated marketplace. A committed reader is guaranteed to leave with a deep understanding of all current issues. "This is an excellent introduction to the financial markets by an author with a strong academic approach and practical insights from trading experience. At a time when the proliferation of financial instruments and the increased use of sophisticated mathematics in their analysis, makes an introduction to financial markets intimidating to most, this book is very useful. It provides an insight into the core concepts across markets and uses mathematics at an accessible level. [+]It equips readers to understand the fundamentals of markets, valuation and trading. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to understand the essentials of successfully trading, structuring or using the entire range of financial instruments available today. " —Varun Gosain, Principal, Constellation Capital Management, New York "Robert Dubil, drawing from his extensive prior trading experience, has made a significant contribution by writing an easy to understand book about the complex world of today’s financial markets, using basic mathematical concepts.

Review Creating Value from Mergers and Acquisitions: The Challenges / Prentice Hall:Creating Value from Mergers and Acquisitions gives an integrated and international perspective. This new book builds on and extends the author's highly successful title The Essence of Mergers and Acquisitions. This is the first book to provide a comparative analysis of the M & A scene in Europe and the US, the two most active markets in the world. The book develops an international and multidisciplinary perspective of M & A, and considers M & A as a process and not a mere transaction. The author draws upon economics, finance, strategy, law and organisational theories to formulate a five-stage model and emphasises the need to understand the inter-connected nature of these stages. The book's central focus is on the challenges to using M & A as an instrument to create shareholder value, how M & A risks can be mitigated and how odds of success in acquisitions can be increased. Creating Value from Mergers and Acquisitions is suitable for those studying advanced undergraduate and MBA courses in industrial organisation, finance, business strategy, and corporate governance, as well as those preparing for exams set by professional bodies. The rigorous integration of the conceptual, empirical and practical aspects of M & A means that researchers and practitioners will also find this book extremely useful.
