Books with author H. A. Priestley

Introduction to Integration provides a unified account of integration theory, giving a practical guide to the Lebesgue integral and its uses, with a wealth of examples and exercises. Intended as a first course in integration theory for students familiar with real analysis, the book begins with a simplified Lebesgue integral, which is then developed to provide an entry point for important results in the field. The final chapters present selected applications, mostly drawn from Fourier analysis. The emphasis throughout is on integrable functions rather than on measures. Designed as an undergraduate or graduate textbook, it is a companion volume to the author's Introduction to Complex Analysis and is aimed at both pure and applied mathematicians.

"An Inspector Calls", first produced in 1946 when society was undergoing sweeping transformations, has recently enjoyed an enormously successful revival. While holding its audience with the gripping tension of a detective thriller, it is also a philosophical play about social conscience and the crumbling of middle class values. "Time and the Conways" and "I Have Been Here Before" belong to Priestley's 'time'plays, in which he explores the idea of precognition and pits fate against free will. "The Linden Tree" also challenges preconceived ideas of history when Professor Linden comes into conflict with his family about how life should be lived after the war.

What was it like to be an innocent child in the 1930s in Berlin, Germany, and then, suddenly, have your tranquil existence snatched away and exchanged for the horrors of World War II and its aftermath? Experience it through the eyes of a girl named Eva. Laugh with her, fret with her, mourn with her. Meet her close-knit, fun-loving family and her friends. Discover how she and the people around her cope in the face of adversity and survive.Eva's story is like a kaleidoscope, in which the pretty, bright pieces of childhood joys and evacuation years are mixed with the ugly ones of air raids and the Russian invasion. Add to the mélange the very dark bits of the loss of her father and family home, as well as the nightmarish Berlin blockade with hunger and cold. Your mind may scream,"Dismal picture!!!" It isn't so. Nothing suppresses Eva's spirit for very long. She is tough when necessary, cherishes every good moment, and loses neither her optimism nor her sense of humor. *Entertaining - upbeat - informative. Suitable for teens and adults.
