    This book describes the theory and practice of corporate finance. We hardly need to explain why financial managers should master the practical aspects of their job, but we should spell out why down-to-earth, redblooded managers need to bother with theory. Managers learn from experience how to cope with routine problems. But the best managers are also able to respond to change.
