A collection of inspiring essays by the photographer Robert Adams, who advocates the meaningfulness of art in a disillusioned society In Art Can Help, the internationally acclaimed American photographer Robert Adams (b. 1937) offers over two-dozen meditations on the purpose of art and the responsibility of the artist. In particular, Adams advocates art that evokes beauty without irony or sentimentality, art that "encourages us to gratitude and engagement, and is of both personal and civic consequence." Following an introduction, the book begins with two short essays on the works of the American painter Edward Hopper, an artist venerated by Adams. The rest of this compilation contains essays-more than half of which have never before been published-that contemplate one work or a small group of works by an individual artist. Many of the objects discussed are by noted photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Emmet Gowin, Dorothea Lange, Abelardo Morell, Edward Ranney, Judith Joy Ross, John Szarkowski, and Garry Winogrand. Several essays beckon the words of literary figures, including Virginia Woolf and Czeslaw Milosz. Adams's voice is at once intimate and accessible, and is imbued with the accumulated wisdom of a long career devoted to making and viewing art. This eloquent and moving book champions art that fights against disillusionment and despair.

Proven in North America and abroad, this classic text has earned a reputation for excellent accuracy and mathematical rigour. The 10th edition continues in the pattern of the 8th and 9th editions, adding important, but overlooked, topics while clarifying old ones, and building on the solid core emplaced in prior editions. It remains the only mainstream textbook that covers sufficient conditions for maxima and minima in higher dimensions. In the classical curriculum, differentials are defined as linear combinations of other differentials. But then later they are also asserted to be products of differentials, without explanation. This edition clarifies, connecting these new objects as they arise. Metrics are a rather fuzzy topic in most texts, leaving the questions that arc length implies hanging. The exploration of these questions leads to new gateway topics, including spherical geometry (as in navigation), and special relativity, which both emerge rather effortlessly once the metric concept is properly in place.The 10th edition is suitable for a semester course in differential equations, in addition to the existing standard material suitable for four semesters of calculus. Not only can it be used to deliver five standard courses of conventional material, it can do much more through some of the unique topics and approaches, which can be added or overlooked by the instructor without penalty. There is no other calculus book that deals better with computers and mathematics through Maple and now Python, while treating unique but important applications from information theory to Levy distributions. This 10th edition continues to aspire to its subtitle: A Complete Course. It is like no other.

It should be not only a journey of discovery an exploration of the authors vision but also of risk. By matching ones own vision to that of the author, says Adams, the reader enters an exciting negotiation to produce a new vision of his own.
