Designed for courses in advanced calculus and introductory real analysis, the second edition of Elementary Classical Analysis strikes a careful and thoughtful balance between pure and applied mathematics, with the emphasis on techniques important to classical analysis, without vector calculus or complex analysis. As such, it's a perfect teaching and learning resource for mathematics undergraduate courses in classical analysis. The book includes detailed coverage of the foundations of the real number system and focuses primarily on analysis in Euclidean space with a view towards application. As well as being suitable for students taking pure mathematics, it can also be used by students taking engineering and physical science courses. There's now even more material on variable calculus, expanding the textbook's already considerable coverage of the subject.

What accounts for the power of stories to both entertain and illuminate? This question has long compelled the attention of storytellers and students of literature alike, and over the past several decades it has opened up broader dialogues about the nature of culture and interpretation. This third edition of the bestselling Essentials of the Theory of Fiction provides a comprehensive view of the theory of fiction from the nineteenth century through modernism and postmodernism to the present. It offers a sample of major theories of fictional technique while emphasizing recent developments in literary criticism. The essays cover a variety of topics, including voice, point of view, narration, sequencing, gender, and race. Ten new selections address issues such as oral memory in African American fiction, temporality, queer theory, magical realism, interactive narratives, and the effect of virtual technologies on literature. For students and generalists alike, Essentials of the Theory of Fiction is an invaluable resource for understanding how fiction works.Contributors. M. M.
