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 Project Finance in Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition Designing, Structuring, and Financing Private and Public Projects Stefano GattiISBN: 978-0-12-391946-5 Pub Date: September 2012 This book presents comprehensive coverage of project finance in Europe and North America.  The author provides a complete description of the ways a project finance deal can be organized-from industrial, legal, and financial standpoints-and the alternatives available for funding it.
