..the transition from the mysteries of real-analysis to the majesty of real analysis will be smoothed by this engaging, readable text.
The Mathematical Gazette
"This book is the distillation of Howie's considerable experience in teaching the introductory real analysis course: he adopts a concrete, pragmatic approach ... . The most striking feature of Real Analysis is ... the author's Ferrar-like concern for the reader's understanding which shines through on every page of his carefully written and carefully paced text. ... There are numerous worked examples and some 190 accessible, impeccably pitched exercises ... another attractive feature is the inclusion of full names and dates for all mathematicians mentioned." (Nick Lord, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 85 (504), 2001)
