Summary

One of the biggest selling features of Concise, and what has kept it in its market-leading position, are the strong pedagogical features that users respond favorably to, especially the excellent real world opening vignettes and industry practice boxes. The writing style offers an appropriate mix of intuitive explanations, numerical examples, and real-world applications in a concise and lucid format. "Conciseö benefits by reducing the number of topics/chapters and increasing the thoroughness with which they are covered" - compared to other books that provide too cursory explanations for many of the most challenging topics. Reviewers were particularly impressed with the outstanding coverage of bond valuation and interest rates.
