Julia Kay's Portrait Party is an international collaborative project in which artists all over the world make portraits of each other and share them online. After years of exchanging portraits, tips and techniques within the group, in Portrait Revolution these artists are now sharing their art, their words, and their inspiration with everyone who is interested in or would like to get started with portraiture. Here you can find information on using different media, how to handle difficult portrait issues, and more. Portrait Revolution showcases 450 portraits by 200 artists, in a wide variety of media from oil painting to iPad art, watercolour to ballpoint, linocut to mosaic. There are a range of styles from realistic to abstract and interpretations by multiple artists of the same subject.

An introduction to analysis with the right mix of abstract theories and concrete problems. Starting with general measure theory, the book goes on to treat Borel and Radon measures and introduces the reader to Fourier analysis in Euclidean spaces with a treatment of Sobolev spaces, distributions, and the corresponding Fourier analysis. It continues with a Hilbertian treatment of the basic laws of probability including Doob's martingale convergence theorem and finishes with Malliavin's "stochastic calculus of variations" developed in the context of Gaussian measure spaces. This invaluable contribution gives a taste of the fact that analysis is not a collection of independent theories, but can be treated as a whole.

¿The present book is a marvelous introduction in the modern theory of manifolds and differential forms. The undergraduate student can closely examine tangent spaces, basic concepts of differential forms, integration on manifolds, Stokes theorem, de Rham- cohomology theorem, differential forms on Riema-nnian manifolds, elements of the theory of differential equations on manifolds (Laplace-Beltrami operators). Every chapter contains useful exercises for the students.¿ ¿ ZENTRALBLATT MATH

When was the last time you read a book of poetry that was written for you instead of a literary critic? When was the last time you actually enjoyed reading poetry? If you think poems should be understandable, if you think that poetry should be clear and accessible, if you think that poetry should be about the things that matter most, then this book is for you. If you like Robert Frost, William Stafford, and Emily Dickinson, you will love "The Road I've Taken" by Thomas L. Kay. He is a poet that will make you enjoy reading poetry again. He writes about things that matter most. May you enjoy and treasure this book.

The remote, isolated town of Red Hills, Colorado, is about to feel the full force of its first snowstorm of the winter, and something evil has blown in on the winter wind. Still coming to terms with the loss of his wife and unborn son, retired homicide detective Kaden Hudson is called from retirement to head a task force appointed to find the maniac that's leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Partners with fellow detectives Brynnah Jaymeson and Jayson Weissen and six others from neighboring jurisdictions, the team set out to apprehend the killer, but one by one the task force is being eliminated, and the body count continues to rise. Throughout the investigation, Kaden and Brynnah simultaneously uncover clues that lead them both in a direction neither saw coming and that leaves Kaden questioning his very sanity.
