A Military History of the English Civil War examines how the civil war was won, who fought for whom, and why it ended. With a straightforward style and clear chronology that enables readers to make their own judgements and pursue their own interests further, this original history provides a thorough critique of the reasons that have been cited for Parliament's victory and the King's defeat in 1645/46. It discusses the strategic options of the Parliamentary and Royalist commanders and councils of war and analyses the decisions they made, arguing that the King's faulty command structure was more responsible for his defeat than Sir Thomas Fairfax's strategic flair. It also argues that the way that resources were used, rather than the resources themselves, explain why the war ended when it did.

GORDON F. JONES sees the existence of two nations, the U.S. and Canada, on the continent of North America as being contrary to the best interests of its own citizens. He points out that Canada and the U.S. evolved separately as one continuing political error, and should be united for the benefit of the citizens of both countries so they can achieve their true objectives, namely wealth, security, and a lasting peace. Religious and political freedom enter into it, but it is the opportunity for personal prosperity during these troubled times that really holds the citizens in thrall. Jones shows how, by not wanting to openly admit our financial objectives, we North Americans are forgoing the opportunity of realizing our goals, and in so doing we are failing to provide the world with an example of the peaceful politics of the possible. As a citizen who has lived half his life in Canada and half in the United States, Jones is a credible observer. He offers reasons why the U.S. and Canada should never have developed separately, and he makes cogent proposals as to how this could still be redressed. His life experience as a father, grandfather, company president, entrepreneur, coach, and church elder are all at work as he paints the picture of the United States of North America.

Lebesgue Integration on Euclidean Space contains a concrete, intuitive, and patient derivation of Lebesgue measure and integration on Rn. Throughout the text, many exercises are incorporated, enabling students to apply new ideas immediately. Jones strives to present a slow introduction to Lebesgue integration by dealing with n-dimensional spaces from the outset. In addition, the text provides students a thorough treatment of Fourier analysis, while holistically preparing students to become workers in real analysis.
