If you are looking for a broad yet detailed book about Integration, this is one book you should definitely consider. Gordon does a great job in defining & explaining the elementary Lebesgue Integral as well as giving a concise introduction to the generalized Riemann integral(Henstock integral in this book)and its equivalent integrals. One of the best aspects of this book is the fact that for every Theorem describing one integral, there is a correspondimg one for the equivalent Integrals. This helps alot; although, there is no table depicting all the relations between the integrals(unfortunately.) A good sidekick to this book would be Robert M. McLeod's "the Generalized Riemann Integral" which gives a very good intro to the GRI.(You should read at least the first 2 Chapt. of McLeod's before attempting to read Gordon) Concluding, this book is NOT for beginners but rather for those who like to "dive deep and surface far in sea of Integration!" (A good beginners book is Soo Bong Chae's "Lebesgue Integration")

Gordon V. Smith,and Russell L. Parr present in detail the theory and methodology associated with the identification, valuation, and economic analysis of intangible assets. The book provides the necessary skills, judgement, and knowledge to truly understand the entire process of intangible valuation.

This is a very complete book on horses. My daughter has spent much time pouring over it.

Although no one area is covered in any great depth, it provides enough general knowledge to point the reader in the right direction for further research. General areas include basic physio information, care, tack ,feeding, health issues and diseases, an overview of various equestrian disciplines, and probably the most comprehensive (and well photographed) listing of known breeds with brief descriptions of each.
My 11 yr.-old daughter (new horse owner) was given a copy for her birthday last year and it is almost in tatters from constant use!

This book is a great introduction of the elements of real analysis. However the book chooses some awkward notation at times and skips pertinant depth where needed. My advice is to use as a supplement to a deeper text in analyis such as Maxwell Rosenlicht's, "An introduction to Analyis," Fitzpatrick's, "Advanced Calculus," or the very terse Walter Rudin, "An Introduction to Mathematical Analyis." The book concludes before addressing multivariate analysis and leaves much needed topological aspect to the very end, this is why I recommend the book as a first-term undergraduate text in analyis in conjuction with my recommendation of Rosenlicht's text. Although, altogether very readable.

Taking a course in Real Analysis from the author himself (Russell Gordon, Whitman College) is quite an experience, especially when the man's grading style is described as, "Take no prisoners." However, the book, like the author, is excellent and thoroughly challenges the intellect. Essentially a proof of calculus, the work details the majority of the theorems first-year calculus students are told just to accept and not question. After a grueling semester, one should feel confident about pursuing further studies in mathematics, as the text presents these (dare I say) "elementary" concepts in a clear, organized fashion. I only have one quibble: there should be a sticker on the cover that reads, "WARNING: Thinking Required," just in case the title itself didn't clue you in.
