Although the Fields Medal does not have the same public recognition as the Nobel Prizes, they share a similar intellectual standing. It is restricted to the field of mathematics and an age limit of 40 has become an accepted tradition. This volume presents contributions from Fields Medallists.

Take a quick look at a comprehensive classics bookshelf, or perhaps a definitive video and DVD collection, and chances are you'll find at least one of Jane Austen's works. Austen's novels are prized not only for their light irony, humour, and depiction of contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying serious qualities. Highly readable, full of dry wit and sage advice, Austen makes for a delightful change of pace from today's usual modern fare. This ebook gives you all six of her novels as well as bonus material in the form of several minor works. Sense and sensibility -- Pride and prejudice -- Mansfield Park -- Emma -- Northanger Abbey -- Persuasion -- Love and friendships -- An unfinished novel in letters -- The history of England -- A collection of letters -- Scraps -- The first act of a comedy -- A letter from a young lady -- A tour through Wales -- A tale.
