This book is devoted to the graphics of patient data: good graphs enabling straight¬forward and intuitive interpretation, efficient creation, and straightforward interpretation. We focus on easy access to graphics of patient data: the intention is to show a large variety of graphs for different phases of drug development, together with a description of what the graph shows, what type of data it uses, and what options there are. The main aim is to provide inspiration in form of a “graphics cookbook.” Many graphs provide creative ideas about what can be done. The book is not intended to be technical. It introduces general principles of good visualization to make readers understand the concepts, but the main focus is on the creativity and usefulness: readers are enabled to browse through the book to get ideas of how their own data can be analyzed graphically.

Banking, and investment banking in particular, is to a large extent investigated empirically in the academic literature. The theory of investment banking behaviour and the relationship between investment banks and their clients is not widely known and applied to analyse developments in this industry. This book provides readers with a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of the theories of investment banking. It presents theories in all areas that investment banks are active, using a consistent and coherent framework, that allows combining different theories to develop more comprehensive analysis of developments in this important industry. Going beyond the activities of investment banks, this book also includes an analysis of some of the employment practices and strategies found in investment banks. The book is intended for students. However, it will also benefit practitioners working in the field and professionals who aspire to such professional activities in the financial industry.
