Driven by a profound love of shapes and symmetries, Donald Coxeter (1907–2003) preserved the tradition of classical geometry when it was under attack by influential mathematicians who promoted a more algebraic and austere approach.
His essential contributions include the famed Coxeter groups and Coxeter diagrams, tools developed through his deep understanding of mathematical symmetry.
As the size and complexity of data continue to grow exponentially across the physical sciences, machine learning is helping scientists to sift through and analyze this information while driving breathtaking advances in quantum physics, astronomy, cosmology, and beyond.
This incisive textbook covers the basics of building, diagnosing, optimizing, and deploying machine learning methods to solve research problems in physics and astronomy, with an emphasis on critical thinking and the scientific method.

As neuroimaging turns toward data-intensive discovery, researchers in the field must learn to access, manage, and analyze datasets at unprecedented scales.
Concerns about reproducibility and increased rigor in reporting of scientific results also demand higher standards of computational practice.
This book offers neuroimaging researchers an introduction to data science, presenting methods, tools, and approaches that facilitate automated, reproducible, and scalable analysis and understanding of data.
This book presents a global history of the biological sciences from ancient times to today, providing needed perspective on the development of biological thought while shedding light on the field’s upheavals and key breakthroughs through the ages.
Michel Morange brings to life the dynamic interplay of science, society, and biology’s many sub-disciplines, enabling readers to better appreciate the interdisciplinary exchanges that have shaped the field over the centuries.

Renormalization group ideas have had a major impact on condensed matter physics for more than a half century.
This book develops the theory and illustrates the broad applicability of the renormalization group to major problems in condensed matter physics.
Based on course materials developed and class-tested by the authors at Harvard University, the book will be especially useful for students, as well as researchers.

This pioneering work revises our notions of the origins and early development of textiles in Europe and the Near East.
Using innovative linguistic techniques, along with methods from paleobiology and other fields, it shows that spinning and pattern weaving began far earlier than has been supposed.
“Prehistoric Textiles” made an unsurpassed leap in the social and cultural understanding of textiles in humankind’s early history.
