This book helps the student complete the transition from purely manipulative to rigorous mathematics. The clear exposition covers many topics that are assumed by later courses but are often not covered with any depth or organization: basic set theory, induction, quantifiers, functions and relations, equivalence relations, properties of the real numbers (including consequences of the completeness axiom), fields, and basic properties of n-dimensional Euclidean spaces.
This final text in the Zakon Series on Mathematics Analysis follows the release of the author's Basic Concepts of Mathematics and Mathematical Analysis I and completes the material on Real Analysis that is the foundation for later courses in functional analysis, harmonic analysis, probability theory, etc. The first chapter extends calculus to n-dimensional Euclidean space and, more generally, Banach spaces, covering the inverse function theorem, the implicit function theorem, Taylor expansions, etc.

30 Recipes 30 ingredients
The idea for this book was conceived out of necessity. As most people these days, I am very busy. I design and develop web sites for small businesses. And, while I enjoy cooking and eating meals, I just don't have the time to shop and plan them. Over the years, and with the help of friends I have learned what foods I like, and that there are many ways to combine and prepare the same ingredients. Realizing this, I set out to organize these ingredients into one shopping list.

30 minute Indian Cuisine
30 minute Indian Cuisine will guide you through the complete process, from selecting the basic ingredients to general methods, to special techniques and serving instructions. The source of my initial inspiration for food writing was the editor of an electronic magazine for the tropical traveler, who requested an article for her food and gardening section. I sent her a short article on Indian vegetarian fare, and she promptly accepted it.
The Rough Guide to Venice & Veneto is your definitive handbook to this splendour-aching European City. From the water-lapped palaces along the Canal Grande to the buzzing Rialto market, the full-colour section introduces all of the regions highlights. With more cultural background than any other guide, you’ll find detailed accounts of all Venice’s monuments and museums, from San Marco to the far-flung islands and practical coverage of Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, and a host of other Veneto towns and sights.
