This is the true story of an American dreamer, a young man who envisioned at an early age the opportunities that citizenship could offer if applied correctly. His mother and father raised him and his five brothers in a loving, unified home, and with this strong foundation, he believed in the importance of a two-parent upbringing. A phone call from a scheming so-called best friend, and a mother intent on ridding herself of the burden of parenting a rebellious, immature daughter with serious behavioral issues, set off a series of events, that derailed this goal-oriented young man's path. A Teen Marriage Circus is based on the author's unimaginable true experience of being forced into a toxic relationship spanning over forty-seven years. This cautionary tale was written to help others recognize the red flags of manipulative behavior and avoid making the same mistakes.

Considered by many to be Abraham Robinson's magnum opus, this book offers an explanation of the development and applications of non-standard analysis by the mathematician who founded the subject. Non-standard analysis grew out of Robinson's attempt to resolve the contradictions posed by infinitesimals within calculus. He introduced this new subject in a seminar at Princeton in 1960, and it remains as controversial today as it was then. This paperback reprint of the 1974 revised edition is indispensable reading for anyone interested in non-standard analysis. It treats in rich detail many areas of application, including topology, functions of a real variable, functions of a complex variable, and normed linear spaces, together with problems of boundary layer flow of viscous fluids and rederivations of Saint-Venant's hypothesis concerning the distribution of stresses in an elastic body.
