Tropical Fukaya Algebras
This book examines the degeneration of pseudoholomorphic disks in symplectic geometry and introduces broken disks as their limit objects in the large complex structure limit. It proves an infinite homotopy equivalence between the classical Fukaya algebra and a tropical version defined using counts of broken disks. The book also provides a self-contained treatment of the underlying theory, including transversality, and features computations of disk potentials for Lagrangian submanifolds in examples such as cubic surfaces and flag varieties.

Adelic Line Bundles on Quasi-Projective Varieties
This book introduces a comprehensive theory of adelic line bundles on quasi-projective varieties over finitely generated fields, developed in both geometric and arithmetic contexts. In the geometric setting, adelic line bundles are defined as limits of line bundles on projective compactifications under the boundary topology. In the arithmetic setting, they are defined as limits of Hermitian line bundles on projective arithmetic compactifications, also under the boundary topology. This theory has broad applications in the study of numerical, dynamical, and Diophantine properties of moduli spaces, quasi-projective varieties, and varieties over finitely generated fields.

A History of Polish Mathematics: A Cultural Perspective From Origins to Modernity
The book traces the history of mathematics in the Polish lands from pagan times (the tenth century AD) to the present, with particular attention to the era inaugurated by the reforms of the National Education Commission (1773-1794), through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries until recently. Richly illustrated and thoroughly documented, it recounts the many achievements of Polish mathematicians-- including the world-renowned interwar Polish School of Mathematics--alongside the great tragedies, notably the losses caused by the Second World War, as well as the arduous post-war revival. A book for anyone interested in Polish culture and its achievements.

Vector: A Surprising Story of Space, Time, and Mathematical Transformation
You might also remember that a vector is a quantity that has magnitude and (this is the key) direction. It sounds simple enough—and yet, as award-winning science writer Robyn Arianrhod shows in this riveting story, the idea of a single symbol expressing more than one thing at once was millennia in the making.

The Epistemic Violence of Mathematics: Decolonial-Feminist Re-Writings of the Rational and the Human
Cara-Julie Kather explores Mathematics as a way of thinking and being in the world. She investigates Mathematics in its conceptual relation to Western understandings of the Rational and the Human, and proposes possibilities of subverting Western Mathematics and of forming different mathematical practices.
