Book Title: The Essential Of Accounts And Finance For Non Finance Managers
Author: Edward Fields

As a department manager, the last thing you want to think about is numbers.

With over 40,000 copies sold, "The Essentials of Finance and Accounting for Nonfinancial Managers" has long provided readers with insight into the financial fundamentals.

Investments and Portfolio Management

Investments and Portfolio Management

Book Title: Investments and Portfolio Management
Author: Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane & Alan J. Marcus-Ninth Edition

Bodie, Kane, and Marcus' "Investments and Portfolio Management" sets the standard for graduate/MBA investments textbooks. It blends practical and theoretical coverage, while maintaining an appropriate rigor and a clear writing style. Its unifying theme is that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that most securities are priced appropriately given their risk and return attributes. The text places greater emphasis on asset allocation and offers a much broader and deeper treatment of futures, options, and other derivative security markets than most investment texts. It is also the only graduate "Investments" text to offer an online homework management system, McGraw-Hill's "Connect Plus Finance".

Principles of Microeconomics, 6th Edition

Book Title: Principles of Microeconomics
Author:   N. Gregory Mankiw
6th Edition

With its clear and engaging writing style, PRINCIPLES OF MICROECONOMICS, Sixth Edition, continues to be one of the most popular books on economics available today. Mankiw emphasizes material that you are likely to find interesting about the economy (particularly if you are studying economics for the first time), including real-life scenarios, useful facts, and the many ways economic concepts play a role in the decisions you make every day.
"I think it is more reader friendly than other texts. In addition, it uses both numeric and/or graphical examples, which is very useful for the students."
"We used to use Case and Fair's text. Mankiw seems to be a better text because it actually follows through with giving applications to what he includes in the book. For example, there is much better material in Mankiw about consumer surplus, producer surplus, government policies and interventions in the market."
"Very student friendly text. Makes economics easy to understand. Some of the other texts would take a lot of reading to explain an idea."

Macroeconomics: Principles and Policy

Book Title: Macroeconomics: Principles and Policy
Authors: William J. Baumol &  Alan S. Blinder

This text is well-known for using the Keynesian model in the teaching of economics; yet, in recent editions, the authors have expanded coverage of the growth model considerably to achieve more balanced coverage. The text uses the aggregate supply/ aggregate demand model as a fundamental tool for learning macroeconomics. It achieves the right level of rigor and detail, presenting complicated concepts in a relatively straightforward manner and using timely economic data. Using puzzles, issues, and well-developed examples, the authors provide a good balance of theory to application allowing you to relate the materials to your everyday life.
