After reviewing recent advances in project finance theory, he provides illustrations and case studies. Level: Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students worldwide working in subjects studying the financing of large-scale single projects, usually called "project finance."

International Money and Finance, 8th EditionMichael Melvin and Stefan C. NorrbinISBN: 978-0-12-385247-2Pub Date: October 2012"This latest edition of the best-selling book discusses a number of important and somewhat complex concepts in international money and finance in a succinct, lucid yet analytical manner."--Ramkishen S. Rajan, George Mason University and National University of Singapore

Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity, 2nd Edition David StowellISBN: 978-0-12-415820-7Pub Date: August 2012"Books on investment banking are few and far between and mostly out of date. Usually they are very academic or written by lawyers rather than by someone who understands the business. This one, written by a former practitioner, gives students of investment banking just the insights they need into the nexus of investment banking, private equity and hedge funds." --Brian Scott-Quinn, Chair in Investment Banking, ICMA Centre, Henley Business School, University of Reading

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities, 6th EditionDonald M. DePamphilisISBN: 978-0-12-385485-8Pub Date: August 2011"After teaching M&A for ten years, I was relieved when last semester I finally switched to DePamphilis' text. His single book replaced numerous other sources that I had to use before. DePamphilis' academic rigor is combined with his deep personal experience as a deal maker, and thus the textbook is highly valuable to both newcomers and those being involved in transactions for many years.“ -- Viktoria Dalko, Global Professor of Finance, Harvard University Extension School
