A combination of theory and case studies on financial engineering. While it's long, the cases make for a interesting read and touch upon a range of issues and topics of relevance to treasurers, CFOs and asset and portfolio managers. It's a good primer for newcomers and also a useful way to brush up on specific concepts.
