My Cosmic Quest: A Search for Enlightenment: Revealing the Mystery of Karma, Reincarnation, and the Purpose of UFOs in Our Skies

Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe, and Jordan, was written for the corporate finance course at the MBA level and the intermediate course in many undergraduate programs. The text emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application. The 13th edition also welcomes a special contributor, Professor Kelly Shue of Yale University. "The teaching and the practice of corporate finance are more challenging and exciting than ever before. Among other things, the first two decades of the twenty-first century brought us the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021. Both shocks led to major corporate restructurings, and we still routinely see announcements in the financial press about takeovers, junk bonds, financial restructuring, initial public offerings, bankruptcies, and derivatives. In addition, there are the new recognitions of "real" options, private equity and venture capital, subprime mortgages, bailouts, and credit spreads. As we have learned, the world's financial markets are more integrated than ever before. Both the theory and practice of corporate finance have been moving ahead with uncommon speed, and our teaching must keep pace"-- Provided by publisher
