Customer Reviews

A good reference book for those interested in what drives the value of companies in the extractive industries
Despite a significant growth of interest in commodities recently there are not many books on valuation of companies in the extractive industries. Dr. Rudenno's book is a rather rare example of industry expertise well explained. A good reference book for those interested in what drives the value of companies in the extractive industries
