The Nature of Mathematics
Karl Smith's loyal customers adopt his book for its clear writing, its coverage of historical topics, selection of topics, level, exercise sets (featuring great applications problems), and emphasis on problem solving. Since the First Edition of Smith's text was published, thousands of liberal arts students have "experienced" mathematics rather than just doing problems. Smith's writing style gives students the confidence and ability to function mathematically in their everyday lives. The emphasis on problem solving and estimation, along with numerous in-text study aids, encourages students to understand the concepts while mastering techniques.

The Nature of Mathematics
Since the First Edition of Smith's text was published, thousands of liberal arts students have "experienced" mathematics rather than just "doing problems" with the help of this book. Smith's student-friendly writing style gives readers the confidence and ability to function mathematically in our technological world. Smith emphasizes problem solving and estimation, and new problems are coupled with numerous in-text study aids, encouraging students to become involved with the concepts. The Ninth Edition goes a step beyond to help students master mathematics rather than just get the right answer.
Calculus
Presents calculus development by integrating technology (with either graphing calculator or computer). The Computational Windows feature offers insights into how technological advances can be used to help understand calculus. Solutions Manual (0-13-178732-2).
Nature of Mathematics
The Student Survival and Solutions Manual provides helpful study aids and fully worked-out solutions to all of the odd-numbered exercises in the text. It's a great way to check your answers and ensure that you took the correct steps to arrive at an answer.
Aristotle, Adam Smith and Karl Marx
. . . a very valuable introduction to Aristotle s economics. History of Economic Ideas Spencer Pack is completely at home with the difficult works of Aristotle, Adam Smith and Karl Marx. To walk with him through their writings is to discover that they are surprisingly helpful in understanding the modern world of computers, credit crunches, religious differences, international conflicts, and unemployment due to oversaving in China and undersaving in America. One is left after reading them with growing admiration for the giants of past intellectual history. This is only one lesson that Pack teaches in this illuminating book.

Twilight Capitalism
Twenty-first-century capitalism has little more to offer than a menu of despair: pandemics, deepening inequality, worsening depression, runaway climate change, intensifying authoritarianism and escalating militarism. Twilight Capitalism offers a wide-ranging analysis of the origins, implications and scope of the “combined” social crisis of 2020 and beyond. A compelling case is made that Karl Marx’s critical analysis of capitalism, along with his program of class-struggle socialism, is essential to understanding and addressing the most important social, economic and ecological problems of our time.
Calculus for The Life Sciences
Authored by two distinguished researchers/teachers and an experiences, successful textbook author, Calculus for Life Sciences is a valuable resource for Life Science courses. As life-science departments increase the math requirements for their majors, there is a need for greater mathematic knowledge among students. This text balances rigorous mathematical training with extensive modeling of biological problems. The biological examples from health science, ecology, microbiology, genetics, and other domains, many based on cited data, are key features of this text.
Mathematics
Mathematics: Its Power and Utility, 10/e, International Edition combines a unique and practical focus on real-world problem solving allowing even the least-interested or worst-prepared student to appreciate the beauty and value of math while mastering basic concepts and skills they will apply to their daily lives. The first half of the book explores the power and historic impact of mathematics and helps students harness that power by developing an effective approach to problem solving. The second half builds upon this foundation by exploring the utility and application of math concepts to a wide variety of real-life situations: money management; handling of credit cards; inflation; purchase of a car or home; the effective use of probability, statistics, and surveys; and, many other topics of life interest. Unlike many mathematics texts, Mathematics: Its Power and Utility, 10/e, International Edition assumes a basic working knowledge of arithmetic, making it effective even for students with no exposure to algebra. Completely self-contained chapters make it easy to teach to a customized syllabus or support the precise pace and emphasis that students require.
Karl Polanyi
Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation is generally acclaimed as being among the most influential works of economic history in the twentieth century, and remains as vital in the current historical conjuncture as it was in his own. In its critique of nineteenth-century ‘market fundamentalism’ it reads as a warning to our own neoliberal age, and is widely touted as a prophetic guidebook for those who aspire to understand the causes and dynamics of global economic turbulence at the end of the 2000s. Karl Polanyi: The Limits of the Market is the first comprehensive introduction to Polanyi’s ideas and legacy. It assesses not only the texts for which he is famous – prepared during his s...
