A wonderful introduction to tensor calculus (I haven't got to the bits on moving surfaces yet) that  balances the algebraic and geometric foundations and focuses on building intuitions rather than formalization.

## [Basic Linguistic Theory Volume 1: Methodology](http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Linguistic-Theory-1-Methodology/dp/0199571066/)

*by R.M.W. Dixon*

Part of a three-volume magnum opus on linguistic description and typology from one of Australia's leading linguists. The series is destined to become *the* guide to writing descriptive grammars.

Despite "theory" in the title, this could better be described as "anti-theoretical", with Dixon's characteristic dig at linguists who do theory first.

I'm almost finished this volume and about to start Volume 2: Grammatical Topics.
