Great Start
This is an excellent beginner's law book. This is also helpful for accountants preparing to take their CPA exam. This book has side references on questions and parts that have been used on the CPA exam. I highly recommend keeping this book as a basic easy to read and follow reference tool for legal issues concerning corporate entities.

Anderson's Business Law
This is an excellent compendium of the major subject areas
taught in a business law course. The book has a fair coverage
of legal rights, government regulatory processes,contracts,
personal property, sales, commercial paper, creditor rights,
agency and employment, partnerships, corporations, real property,
the Uniform Commercial Code and an index. The work presents
typical case studies utilizing the classic factual patterns and
the decision. There are important case studies contained
for student homework assignments and class participation.
The work is edited by some important CPA Review giants like
Dr. Fox -famous for his rendition of the CPA law review.
It is a worthy purchase for anyone studying business law or
sitting for the CPA Examination.The work is easy to read considering the complexity of some
of the topics discussed. i.e. HDC (holder in due course)
The grammar and sentence structure are very readable for students.

Amazing Beginners Law Resource
This book is a must have for anyone interested in learning more about Business Law. The book utilizes real life cases, giving you perspective into the every changing world of law. I give this book 5 stars. It's a must have.

Still a Must Read for anybody considering I-banking.
I got this book yesterday and read through it quickly that night. First of all, it is hilarious. The critic review on the covers says "funniest book since Liar's Poker." I disagree, this is funnier, even though Liar's Poker was funny in its own right. Caveat Emptor, though, the humor is bawdier than most anything I've heard in a locker room. The language itself is a testament to the investment banking world and how it desensitizes junior bankers.

To many, the book will be most startling in just how unglamorous the Investment Banking life actually is. Even the rainmakers at the top of the heap, the managing directors, don't necessarily live a glamorous life. While junior bankers have to grovel to the MD's, the MD's themselves spend their lives groveling to clients and the buyside, trying to justify their existence with pretty pitch books and fonts that are just right.

The most amazing thing about the banking life, though, is not the hours. It's how useless most of those hours are. From what I gathered, the associates and analysts do maybe 4-8 hours a day of real, productive work. The rest of the hours are spent making mindless changes for MD's, only for the MD's and Vice Presidents to change their mind and throw out a lot of that work. Associates spent a lot more time in meetings and travel than I expected, typically just to bring pitch books and give a formidable presence for the bank.

In other words, Monkey Business reads somewhat like a long MBA case study about a mismanaged company who promotes top performers rather than good managers (although it is far, far more interesting than a case study). The MD's have all the hallmarks of bosses from hell. They don't understand what junior bankers actually do and they motivate by crucifying for mistakes and missed deadlines while taking all the credit when there's success.

From the long hours and the constant mistreatment, it's easy to see how investment banks precipitated the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. During the peak of investment banking, 2003-06, bankers were so desensitized that they had no idea how to think or build value for the economy. Everything was about money, everything was about selling and sounding good and not truly working on behalf of their clients. While most of these shenanigans happened in the trading side of I-banks and not the banking side, the same culture permeated throughout, the almighty dollar before EVERYTHING else.

My only real disappointment was the new post-crisis afterword. Most of the afterword was fine, tying up the loose ends and showing the investment banking can actually lead to good buyside or senior banking jobs, if you're willing to sell your soul for a few years. Rather, I was disappointed that he focused on the trading that led to the crisis, something well-known at this point. I was more interested in why banking still hasn't changed, why analysts and associates are still so poorly treated and why there's so much motion with so little relative value produced.

Read this if you're interested in how businesses work and if you want a good, if very vulgar, laugh. DEFINITELY read this if you're an Ivy undergraduate or MBA student considering wads of money I-bankers may be throwing at you. Realize that there's more to choosing your offer than the salary and if anything could possibly offer a career path half as attractive as the eventual buyside job after banking, take it.

Must read for anyone considering investment banking career
This book gives a good idea about what an analyst or associate does in investment banking. Must read for anyone considering such a career.

How Could Anyone Give This Book Less Than 5 Stars?
This book is hilarious! But educational, too! This was the second or third book I read about investment banking, so I wasn't shocked by some of the stories, but thoroughly amused. This is a MUST read for anyone who is thinking about going into investment banking, but it is also a great read for anyone who isn't. I love books like this--I don't have the longest attention span, but I couldn't put this book down until I was finished reading it.

Lame
I really enjoyed Michael Lewis' "Liar's Poker," and thought that "Monkey Business" maybe if it wasn't as well-written or as witty as "Liar's Poker" would at least be entertaining and critical. Neither one of the authors is a good writer, and it's annoying how they switch from one voice to the other because it really adds nothing to the reading experience. This is a weak and lame book about the experience of two Type A personalities trying to make it as Wall Street investment bankers. Work was painful and pointless and life...well, there was no life -- and so the two heroes had an epiphany one day and decided to change their lifes and switch from Wall Street investment bankers to Wall Street money managers. So it's easy to see that their critical attacks on Wall Street are only half-hearted and often insincere. Who doesn't know that Wall Street bankers are a bunch of con artists trying to sell questionable companies to an unquestioning public?

An evening's worth of sound entertainment
Hilarious, to say the least...peppered with humor (some of it off-color), Rolfe and Troobe provides an account of their career in the IB world. My interest in this book is purely for reasons of entertainment; I can't seem to agree with statements like "must have if you decide to take the IB route" or "should make you rethink the banking profession" and all that. While this book chronicles the life of the authors at DLJ, one can, enough creativity assumed, come up with a hilarious account of any profession. So I don't look at it as a swipe at the IB profession as much as a swipe at the great circus we are all involved in on a daily basis. An investment banker, probably mortgages a bigger part of his/her life for the almighty $, but it's only a matter of degree. In fact, one of my recent client calls reminded me of, "...unlike the contestants in traditional beauty-pageants, bankers aren't normally required to wear bathing suits at the pageant, but if the client asked them to, they'd come in wearing the tightest nut-hugging speedo ever seen"

NP Business Practice and Legal Guide is Excellent !
This book is an excellent and should be required for all advanced practice nursing curriculum for NPs. I went to school in a different state and then returned to my home state so the practice requirements and laws were quite different. I used this book to prepare for my interviews, transition to my new job and discuss with the person who hired me about my scope of practice etc. Although I was very pleased with my graduate curriculum ( this book was required for my program), this book is great because it condenses all of the info that you learned in graduate school and is an easy read. It provides great references and has all the extra " need to know" info.. SO BUY it! you will be pleased

NP practice and legal guide
This was a very informative and helpful book. As a recent Nurse Practitioner graduate, it provided me with crucial information utillized in negotiating my first contract. I highly recommend it!

must have
I use this book over and over. It was extreemly helpful for drafting a collaborating agreement as well

User-friendly!
This book is filled with practical, business-oriented information that nurse practitioners need. It is very easy to read and has state-by-state information listed at the end of chapters where it is revelant.

NP student input
The text book is very easy to read, and provides good information. It is a book that will be useful in the future. It includes information on each of the different state's rules and regulations for practicing as a practitioner.

Well Written
As a grad student, I found this book to be very well written in easy to read language. It does an excellent job of showing new technologies' relevance and application in business.
