Any recommendations for a down to Earth calc II book? For calc I I relied on The Calculus Lifesaver to explain the concepts to me in English. Is there anything for calc II the explains the concepts in English &/or is just a book full of extra problems (granted different books cover different topics)? The textbook I use, Thomas' Calculus seems pretty abstract at times & has very few examples.
