Sunil K. Parameswaran - Fundamentals of Financial Instruments

8 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments I am indebted to all my students in India and Australia who went through this material and offered ideas for embellishing the content and polishing the exposition. The participants at my Executive Education programs offered invaluable advice. Because most of them were non-Finance professionals, primarily from the Information Technology field, they had unusual and interesting perspectives which helped augment the more traditional feedback from business school students and associates. I am extremely grateful to John Wiley & Sons, Singapore, for giving me the opportunity to develop and promote this book. In particular I owe a tremendous debt to my former publisher, Nick Wallwork, for taking a chance with an unknown Indian academic. Gladys Ganaden, who subsequently took over, has been an enormous source of support and encouragement. She is the primary force behind the second edition of the book, for she perceived the need and inspired me to write it. I am indebted to her. The editorial team of Purvi and Pradesh has been very supportive of this project right from the outset and I owe them an enormous debt. Donna, who was the copyeditor, has done a wonderful job, and has provided invaluable support at the copyediting and typesetting phases. And finally, I am indebted to my mother for her patience and moral support.
