Lots of great research of traditional topics of financial management and decision-making. Of which the best-presented ones are: M&A, projests with unequal lives, pro forma reporting, ration analysis, WACC overview, forecasting, inerest rates, seasonality.
Some other fun stuff: Finance as Art not Science, Strategic analysis, Asymmetric information, market overview, covenants and their possible role in strategy formation.
Lots of illustrative analysis, cases for practicing and great narrative to present information in clear and concise ways.

About as clear a book on corporate financing structure and discounted cash flows as I can imagine. It's aimed at future CFOs and similar, so is it helpful for individual investors? Probably not massively, but it does demystify a few things, which is good for one's confidence in one's understanding.
