This book presents a unified treatise of the theory of measure and
integration. In the setting of a general measure space, every concept is
defined precisely and every theorem is presented with a clear and
complete proof with all the relevant details. Counter-examples are
provided to show that certain conditions in the hypothesis of a theorem
cannot be simply dropped.The dependence of a theorem on earlier theorems
is explicitly indicated in the proof, not only to facilitate reading but
also to delineate the structure of the theory. The precision and clarity
of presentation make the book an ideal textbook for a graduate course in
real analysis while the wealth of topics treated also make the book a
valuable reference work for mathematicians.
