Real Mathematical Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Was plane geometry your favourite math course in high school? Did you like proving theorems? Are you sick of memorising integrals? If so, real analysis could be your cup of tea. In contrast to calculus and elementary algebra, it involves neither formula manipulation nor applications to other fields of science. None. It is Pure Mathematics, and it is sure to appeal to the budding pure mathematician. In this new introduction to undergraduate real analysis the author takes a different approach from past studies of the subject, by stressing the importance of pictures in mathematics and hard problems. The exposition is informal and relaxed, with many helpful asides, examples and occasional comments from mathematicians like Dieudonne, Littlewood and Osserman. The author has taught the subject many times over the last 35 years at Berkeley and this book is based on the honours version of this course. The book contains an excellent selection of more than 500 exercises.

If you:

(a) live in the greater Little Rock/North Little Rock metro area and
(b) have a camera

you are required to shoot at the Old Mill in the spring.

I shot this on a weekday and there was still a crowd. On the weekends during spring, it's insane. The ideal time to shoot here would be during or right after a light rain.

It's been a beautiful spring this year, but I can remember a few years ago everything at the Old Mill being in bloom at the same time at least for a few days anyway. That didn't appear to be the case this year, but it was pretty none-the-less.

Below are some shots of a few spring blooms. I've never been completely happy with a single slower shot I have taken. These are ok, I guess.

All of these were taken last week in my client's garden. I don't know if she does the gardening, or if they have a gardener, but their yard is like a jungle!!!

Authoritative yet easy to read, Sheep and Goat Medicine, 2nd Edition covers all the latest advances in sheep and goat medicine, including medical treatment, surgery, theriogenology, and nutrition. Full-color photographs and clear instructions provide the answers you need, guiding you through common procedures and techniques such as restraint for examination, administration of drugs, blood collection, and grooming; these descriptions are often accompanied by explanatory diagrams and charts. With diseases, surgeries, and treatments organized by body system, information is always easy to find. New to this edition are chapters on parasite control, nutritional requirements, and performing a necropsy. Developed by Dr. D.G. Pugh, a world-renowned expert on the medical care of sheep and goats, this reference is unmatched for its comprehensive coverage of herd health, physical examination, anesthesia, and multisystem diseases.


Clear writing style makes the book useful and easy to understand, even for sheep and/or goat owners who are not veterinarians.

Both surgery and medicine are covered in each body systems chapter, so it's easier to choose between treatment options for specific disorders.

Superbly illustrated surgical procedures clearly demonstrate the steps to follow in performing surgical procedures.

An explanation of the differences in normal behavior between sheep and goats shows how they are not the same, and require different methods of treatment.

A consistent, logical format in each body systems chapter makes information easy to find by beginning with physical examination and diagnostic procedures, followed by discussions of common diseases that involve the system.

Consistent headings include pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

A comprehensive nutrition chapter covers diet evaluation, method of balancing rations, total parenteral nutrition, and examples of nutritious diets.

Practical formulas are included for making sodium sulfite for testing passive transfer, and Sheather's solution for fecal flotation.

Useful appendixes summarize essential information on drugs and drug dosages, fluid therapy, and normal values and conversions.

A diverse, authoritative panel of contributors provides current information on the care of valuable breeding stock as well as pets.



Full-color photographs and graphics accurately depict conditions and procedures.

New Fluid Therapy and Nutritional Support chapter covers emergency and critical care essential to the care of sheep and goats.

New Gastrointestinal Parasitism chapter covers treatments for parasites, key to the successful management of all flocks.

New Necropsy chapter helps you prevent disease outbreaks in a flock by determining the cause of death.
