The times-squared law that Galileo announced could have been discovered centuries before by any careful observer of the motion of heavy bodies. How this simple and elegant numerical description of the motion of falling bodies evaded all the best minds from Aristotle to Galileo's contemporaries is the subject of Stillman Drake's short monograph.

A compelling personal account of his own mental illness by an eminent clinical psychologist and professor of psychology. Dr. Norman Endler relates the story of his depressive breakdown, including his early symptoms, his family's reactions, the effect on his work, the prognosis of the illness, and his therapy. His examination of the nature, antecedents, and treatment of depression offers valuable and accessible information and hope for recovery to those who suffer from its effects. Dr. Endler also offers valuable insights on controversial issues such as the stigma attached to mental illness, how the patient attempts to cope, and the use of drugs and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in treatment.

Calculus: The Analysis of Functions

This is a Calculus text with a difference. The focus is on concepts and on problems and approaches to solving them, rather than on the techniques and methods of Calculus. The subject matter is that of introductory, single-variable Calculus, but with a heavy emphasis on intuitive inferences from graphing, and includes a chapter on probability. This is a groundbreaking text in the Calculus Reform movement.
