'... extremely well written: very entertaining and motivating.' Adhemar Bultheel, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society 'The author writes lucidly in a friendly, readable style and he is strong at motivating, anticipating and reviewing the various themes that permeate the text ... The overwhelming impression is that Real analysis was a labour of love for the author, written with a genuine reverence for both its beautiful subject matter and its creators, refiners and teachers down the ages. As such - and high praise indeed - it will sit very happily alongside classics such as Apostol's Mathematical analysis, Royden's Real analysis, Rudin's Real and complex analysis and Hewitt and Stromberg's Real and abstract analysis.'
