A calculus and real analysis textbook that takes an historical perspective to teaching the subject.
Why is this valuable (or not)
The text takes a different approach than most to teaching real analysis. As the authors say in Chapter 1:
We do this by immersing the student in the story of how what is usually called Calculus evolved into modern Real Analysis. Our hope and intention is that this will help the student to appreciate why their intuitive understanding of topics encountered in calculus needs to be replaced by the formalism of Real Analysis.
