| Title | Circularity: A Common Secret to Paradoxes, Scientific Revolutions and Humor |
| Author(s) | Ron Aharoni |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2016. |
| Description | xiii, 165p. |
| Abstract Note | "Circularity" is the story of a Janus-faced conceptual structure, that on the one hand led to deep scientific discoveries, and on the other hand is used to trick the mind into believing the impossible. Alongside mathematical revolutions that eventually led to the invention of the computer, the book describes ancient paradoxes that arise from circular thinking. Another aspect of circularity, its ability to entertain, leads to a surprising insight on the time old question "What is humor". The book presents the ubiquity of circularity in many fields, and its power to confuse and to instruct. |

| Title | Problems for metagrobologists: A Collection of Puzzles with Real Mathematical, Logical or Scientific Content |
| Author(s) | David Singmaster |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2016. |
| Description | xi, 234p. |
| Series | (Problem Solving in Mathematics and Beyond) |
| Abstract Note | This book is a collection of over 200 problems that David Singmaster has composed since 1987. Some of the math problems have appeared in his various puzzle columns for BBC Radio and TV, Canadian Broadcasting, Focus (the UK popular science magazine), Games and Puzzles, the Los Angeles Times, Micromath, the Puzzle a Day memo pad and the Weekend Telegraph. While some of these are already classics, many of the puzzles have not been published elsewhere previously.
Puzzle enthusiasts of all ages will find here arithmetic problems, properties of digits; monetary problems; alpha-metics; Diophantine problems; magic figures; sequence problems; logical problems; geometric problems; physics problems; combinatorial problems; geographic problems; calendar problems; clock problems; dissection problems and verbal problems.

| Title | Particles and quantum fields |
| Author(s) | Hagen Kleinert |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2016. |
| Description | xxxv, 1591p. |
| Abstract Note | This is an introductory book on elementary particles and their interactions. It starts out with many-body Schrödinger theory and second quantization and leads, via its generalization, to relativistic fields of various spins and to gravity. The text begins with the best known quantum field theory so far, the quantum electrodynamics of photon and electrons (QED). It continues by developing the theory of strong interactions between the elementary constituents of matter (quarks). This is possible due to the property called asymptotic freedom. On the way one has to tackle the problem of removing various infinities by renormalization. The divergent sums of infinitely many diagrams are performed with the renormalization group or by variational perturbation theory (VPT). The latter is an outcome of the Feynman-Kleinert variational approach to path integrals discussed in two earlier books of the author, one representing a comprehensive treatise on path integrals, the other dealing with critial phenomena. Unlike ordinary perturbation theory, VPT produces uniformly convergent series which are valid from weak to strong couplings, where they describe critical phenomena. |
