          5 out of 5 stars Much Better Than The 9th Edition.......2003-02-07

          I have been a fan of Lawrence J. Gitman's writing style for years. His approach to finance is simple to understand & this is very beneficial for both students & teachers. The 10th Edition of "Principles of Managerial Finance" (Hardcover) has the following improvements:

          a. Calculation of "n" in the chapter of "Time Value of Money"
          b. Adding the "Free Cash Flow Valuation Model" in the chapter of "Stock Valuation"
          c. Adding "Strategic Net Present Value (NPV)" in the chapter of "Risk & Refinements in Capital Budgeting"
          d. Having two (2) "Time Value of Money Tables":
          d.1. more detailed tables (in terms of more "i"; note: "i" was formerly "k" in the 9th Edition) located at the back of the book
          d.2. tables, printed on thick paper, located at the front of the book that is perforated (can be pulled out)
          e. Up to date real world examples
          f. Better presentation of the topics, notably the topics on Bond & Stock Valuation
          g. The Hardcover Edition includes an Excel-based student software on the book's Companion Web Site valid for six (6) months upon activation.

          The book comes with a CD-ROM. The exercises have topics listed before them. This is beneficial both for students & teachers (students can EASILY practice what they've learned while teachers can give assignments by simply browsing the topics).

          This is an outstanding basic finance book & I haven't found another one that's better. However, outstanding as this book is, there is still room for improvement. My suggestions are:

          a. Explain "deferred annuities" (both for ordinary annuity & annuity due)
          b. Present the computation of "i" & "n" using algebra (in addition to using the methods presented in the book)
          c. Include the process of interpolation in the book proper
          d. Fully discuss the "Average Rate of Return"(ARR), "Discounted Payback Period" (DPP), & "Modified Internal Rate of Return" (MIRR) in the chapter of "Capital Budgeting Techniques"
          e. Better explain the "Earnings Before Interest & Taxes (EBIT)-Earnings Per Share (EPS) Approach" in the chapter of "Capital Stucture"
          f. Correct the error (I believe this to be an editing error) on the formula for standard deviation (Equation 5.3a, page 222, footnote section)
          g. Include a "Challenging Exercises Section" for every chapter where the problems are more complex & the topics are NOT stated before them
          h. Increase the six (6) month student subscription to the book's Companion Web Site to one (1) year.

          Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn basic finance. This book is well worth buying & KEEPING.

          4 out of 5 stars Great Finance Book But Could Still Be Improved.......2001-01-07

          This book, "Principles of Managerial Finance" (9th Edition), is an excellent finance book. It explains financial concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. Gitman gives you a step-by-step guide to understanding finance. Gone are the days when one dreads reading a finance book because of complexity. You'll actually look forward to reading this book. However, there are some items that need to be added/fully explained in the book itself (like how to interpolate, finding the number of periods in the time value of money, calculating free cash flows in valuation, etc.) & there are things that need to be clarified in the cost of capital & capital budgeting techniques sections. Nevertheless, it is still a great book well worth buying.

          3 out of 5 stars College Text.......2000-06-30

          Having struggled through many finance courses this text truely brought the area of finance into a much clearer perspective for me. It provides a lot of general knowledge about the field and as a stand alone text is very useful. However, the assignments that accompanied the text definitley lacked substance and did not prove to be worthwhile.

            Book Description

            The Demo Docs System of instruction replicates the classroom experience by providing more “I get it” moments outside of class. We’ve talked to tons of POA instructors and our editors have even taken the accounting course (numerous times!) to figure out the following issue in this course that is consistent: Students understand (or “get it”) right after you do a problem in class, but as soon as they leave class, with each passing hour, their ability to do the problems again and complete their homework diminishes to the point of them either having to come to office hours to get help, or they just quit and get behind in the course. On top of this, you can end up getting behind in the course as well, in order to keep everyone on track. The Demo Docs system helps to recreate the “I get it” moments outside of class-- keeping both you and the students on track.

              3 out of 5 stars Not outstanding........2007-02-28

              I feel the authors have covered the topic well. As a read, I thought the text was written as good as an accounting can be.

              The problem I shared with my classmates is that there was difficulty completing the exercises at the ends of the chapters. We feel maybe two reasons for this: first, the problems often could not be solved without looking forward to the chapters not yet covered; and second, specific details needed to solve problems were either not there or organized in an unfamiliar way. This required asking many questions with the instructor and classmates to try to complete the exercises.

              Overall, though, I suppose this is on par with other texts on the topic. The book we liked the best was "Accounting: what the numbers mean" as it was written & organized very well; and the exercises were very effective.

                5 out of 5 stars Best tech writing intro book that I have found.......2006-12-13

                I am taking tech writing classes now. Our textbook was terrible. I searched everywhere for good resources and this book was the winner by far. It is a very useful how-to-do-it book. I emphatically recommend this book for anyone in a tech writing role--as a student or at work.

                3 out of 5 stars Technical Writing : Process and Product (5th Edition).......2006-06-02

                This book contains plenty of good information on the process of technical writing. It is however very difficult to read, because of the only style is that it is constantly varying. The authors should take some of their own advice in any future editions.

                5 out of 5 stars Technically very good.......2005-10-18

                We use this text by Gerson and Gerson for the technical writing class at the community college where I work. It is an incredibly useful book, particularly for those who are beginning their college careers, and for those who are going into technical fields that require clarity and precision.

                Some of the outstanding features of this text include the following:

                * Technology tips, providing useful instruction on basic computer literacy
                * Techlinks, with updated online material and resources
                * Writing at Work Case Studies, showing real-world examples of the ideas being presented
                * Before/After Examples, which shows the value of revision
                * Sportlights, similiar to the Writing at Work, again shows real-life applications of how business uses technical writing
                * Checklists, for ease of remembering and following through on all aspects of the material presented
                * Margin Call-Outs, sort of like pull-quotes that highlight particular points of interest in the documents being examined
                * Web Workshops and a Companion Website

                The units in this book include sections on correspondence (memos, email, letters, including cover letters in trying to find a job), technical publications (fliers, brochures, newsletters, etc.), electronic communications (websites and online help), report writing (MLA and APA styles are presented, as well as methods of research), and a handy handbook of grammar aids as the final section, to help with punctuation, spelling, mechanics and other items of grammatical interest.

                There is also a section on oral communication - while this is not a speech textbook, so much of one's business image comes from the way one presents himself or herself orally, on the telephone, in presentations, in interviews, and in everyday conversation. The Gersons also provide some information on using PowerPoint and other visual aids in effective presentations.

                This is a great textbook, useful for classroom settings as well as individual study and reference. The layout is visually interesting and well-formatted, We use it in the Tutoring Center of my college in addition to the technical writing course offered on campus, as most classes on campus have an element of writing.

                5 out of 5 stars Useful and valuable ...........2005-02-07

                Terrific, easily readable, and highly recommended for tech writers and those learning the craft, as well as for those corporate staff who will work with tech writers.

                Liked the parts on short reports, long reports, grammar, punctuation, research, graphics, oral presentations, instructions, technical description, and objectives.

                Did not like the wasted political-correctness (PC) ink devoted to "sexist language," which was unnecessary and does not fit in with the value of the other material in this book. That kind of condescending verbiage detracts from an otherwise superb and useful text.

                Still valuable for most readers.

                5 out of 5 stars This really is a good book........2004-06-09

                I learned a lot from this book.
