This is an attractive introductory work on differential equations, with extensive information in addition to what can be covered in a two-semester course. The order of the topics examined is slightly unusual in that Laplacians are covered after Fourier transforms and power series. The chapter on power series contains a section on hypergeometric equations, which could well be the first time that an introductory book on the subject goes that far. The book has plenty of exercises at the end of each section, and also at the end of each chapter. The solutions to some of these are included at the end of the book. Most chapters contain a few appendixes that are several pages long. Their subject is either related to the life and work of an exceptional mathematician (such as Newton, Euler, or Gauss) or pertains to an area of mathematics in which the theory of differential equations can be applied. The historical appendixes put the material in context, and explain which parts of the material were the most difficult to discover. The writing is pleasant and reader-friendly throughout. This work is an essential acquisition for all math libraries; no competing works have put the material in such a deep historical context.

Radical Ecology

"It is written in a lively and edifying manner that will engross both history and non-history majors. The text primarily follows a chronological format, making it easy to assign specific chapters or sections for use as supplemental readings in classes dealing with more specific subjects. The text can also be used as the primary textbook in both one and two semester courses dealing with 20th Century American history. One of the features that makes this text so engaging for students is that the writers have balanced the historical, political, and economic facts with cultural, intellectual, and social insights that help to not only bring the subject matter to life, but also to make the material more relevant to modern students. The organization of the material makes it easy for instructors to customize its use to meet their classes' unique requirements and the wealth of supplemental material that is available will enhance the students' learning experience." —History in Review

… The material presented in the book is classic material, but is also timeless because the basic theory, probability and statistical rigor and applications to system reliability are still relevant today and important for any student or practitioner of reliability theory. … This book has a very good set of problems, exercises and comments on how to solve these problems for every chapter. These problems are excellent if one wants to use this book as a textbook. … The rigor and mathematical development in the book is excellent. This book is also a good reference book in the field of reliability theory for researchers … .—Journal of Quality Technology, Vol. 41, No. 2, April 2009

`This groundbreaking study will interest those committed to keeping abreast of current social theory. The case studies are good too!' - Choice`Rob Shields' coverage of the theoretical debates is right up to date and the four case studies provide a fascinating application and illumination of the issues which he is addressing.' - Peter Saunders, Sussex University`Shields offers us an imaginative critique of the existing literature, a vast bibliography, and four beautifully crafted case studies which begin at last to explore empirically that most difficult of theoretical terrains, the reciprocal relations between the social and the spatial.' - Environment and Planning`What separates Shield's work from much of the other recent work in this field is exactly what he aimed to achieve - its emphasis on the importance of space in the development and formation of perceptions, myths and collective representations.' - Urban Studies

&ldquo;Hoffman&rsquo;s characters are always moving back and forth, challenging our perceptions,  daring us to judge them. Her sentences tremble with allegory. . . . In the end, The Story Sisters, for all its magic realism, is about a family navigating through motherhood,  sisterhood, daughterhood. It&rsquo;s Little Women on mushrooms. (Bookish sisters beware).&rdquo;  &ndash; New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Hoffman is celebrated for her ability to conjure  plausible alternative realities, to sprinkle her landscapes with witches and other  mythical creatures, while keeping her stories closely tethered to familiar terrain.  There&rsquo;s a mysticism that swirls about her works but, like a late-morning fog, it  eventually burns off to reveal a physical and emotional topography that most all  of us can recognize.&rdquo; &ndash; Chicago Tribune "This bewitching novel explores the bonds  of sisterhood like a haunting modern fairy tale."  &ndash; Glamour &ldquo;Any new book by Hoffman  is an occasion to rejoice, as is the case with The Story Sisters.&rdquo; &ndash; Sacramento Bee  &ldquo;The sisters&rsquo; struggle to grow and thrive in the real world will keep you riveted  to the pages of this heartbreaking novel about the powers and limits of love.&rdquo;  &ndash;  Redbook  "When it comes to blending magic and the mundane routines of life, there's  no finer writer than Alice Hoffman -- but even she has outdone herself with her latest  novel. &#160;The Story Sisters hearkens back to the classic fairy tale, where one must  suffer fear and loss before stumbling upon a happy ending. &#160;Hoffman reminds us with  every sentence that words have the power to transport us to alternate worlds, to  heal a broken heart, and to tie us irrevocably to the people we love." &ndash; Jodi Picoult,  author of Handle With Care &ldquo;The always dazzling Hoffman has outdone herself in this  bewitching weave of psychologically astute fantasy and shattering realism&hellip;.this is  an entrancing and romantic drama shot through with radiant beauty and belief in human  resilience and transformation.&rdquo; &ndash; Booklist (starred review) &ldquo;Painfully moving&hellip;.there  are beautiful moments throughout.&rdquo; &ndash; Kirkus Reviews &ldquo;Keeps readers heartbroken yet  spellbound, turning the pages.&rdquo; &ndash; Library Journal
