[.uk] Financial Institutions, Markets, and Money (ISBN 0471697575)

A good starting point for business and finance students:
This book is updated to the latest development in financial market, institutions and structure. It concisely presented the money and capital markets with a touch of history and functionality. I particularly like the balanced view of the authors in their presentations. It successfully illustrates the functional as well as risk consideration of the markets and institutions. This book should serve well for student studying in domestic financial market and also as a bridging link to international financial system.

Great, well-organized:
This study guide is quite useful for a student studying finance first time.
