Tieve Tara was the name of a private house and semi-detached
General Practice surgery in Airedale, Castleford, West Yorkshire.
It has been occupied by the author's family almost continuously
since 1923. He and his parents were GPs who worked and lived there.
His wife was the practice manager. The book is the history of that
building. It describes how the building evolved into the Tieve Tara
Medical Centre, semi-detached from the renamed private Hill House.
It is about loyalty, teamwork, class, friendship, laughter and life
behind the scenes of medical work over nearly 100 years.

"Equity Analysis and Valuation with eVal" closes the gap between
the theoretical treatment of equity valuation and the actual
practice of valuing a company using real-world data. While the
underlying theories of financial analysis and valuation are given
their due, the goal is always to answer the question, What is this
company really worth?..
. "Equity Analysis and Valuation with eVal" takes the view that
sound forecasts of the future financial statements are the key
input to a good valuation, and that most other aspects of the
valuation process are mechanical and best left to computers to
solve. To that end, the book includes eVal, an Excel-based software
application that guides the user through the forecasting and
valuation processes while taking care of the minute details of
valuation computations. By providing a unified interface for the
valuation process, eVal allows you to focus on the forecasting, not
on the spreadsheet. eVal also includes financial data for over
8,000 companies along with links to company websites, SEC filings,
forecasts and other great sources of data to improve the users
forecasts..
