The Surprising Mathematics of Longest Increasing Subsequences Dan Romik University of California, Davis
This book presents for the first time to a graduate-level readership recent groundbreaking developments in probability and combinatorics related to the longest increasing subsequence problem. Its detailed, playful presentation provides a motivating entry to elegant mathematical ideas that are of interest to every mathematician and to many computer scientists, physicists and statisticians. ‘The story of longest monotone subsequences in permutations has been, for six decades, one of the most beautiful in mathematics, ranging from the very pure to the applied and featuring many terrific mathematicians, starting with Erdős– Szekeres’s ‘happy end theorem’ and continuing through the Tracy–Widom distribution and the breakthrough of Baik–Deift–Johansson. With its connections to many areas of mathematics, to the Riemann hypothesis, and to high-energy physics we cannot foresee where the story is heading. Dan Romik tells the tale thus far – and teaches its rich multifaceted mathematics, a blend of probability, combinatorics, analysis, and algebra – in a wonderful way.’ Gil Kalai, Hebrew University of Jerusalem Institute of Mathematical Statistics Textbooks, 4

Noise Sensitivity of Boolean Functions and Percolation
Biological physics
Christophe Garban Université Lyon I
and Jeffrey E. Steif Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenberg
This account of the new and exciting area of noise sensitivity of Boolean functions – in particular applied to critical percolation – is designed for graduate students and researchers in probability theory, discrete mathematics, and theoretical computer science. It assumes a basic background in probability theory and integration theory. Each chapter ends with exercises. ‘Presented in an orderly, accessible manner, this book provides an excellent exposition of the general theory of noise sensitivity and its beautiful and deep manifestation in two dimensional critical percolation. The authors, both of whom are major contributors to the theory, have produced a very thoughtful work, bringing the intuition and motivations first. Noise sensitivity is a natural concept that recently found diverse applications, ranging from quantum computation and complexity theory to statistical physics and social choice. Two dimensional critical percolation is a striking and canonical random object. The book elegantly unfolds the story of integrating the general theory of noise sensitivity into a concrete study, allowing for a new understanding of the percolation process.’ Itai Benjamini, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel Institute of Mathematical Statistics Textbooks, 5

The New Cosmos Answering Astronomy’s Big Questions David J. Eicher Editor-in-Chief, Astronomy magazine
Foreword by Alex Filippenko University of California, Berkeley
Over the past decade, astronomers, planetary scientists, and cosmologists have answered – or are closing in on the answers to – some of the biggest questions about the universe. David J. Eicher presents a spectacular exploration of the cosmos that provides you with a balanced and precise view of the latest discoveries. Detailed and entertaining narratives on compelling topics such as how the Sun will die, the end of life on Earth, why Venus turned itself insideout, the Big Bang Theory, the mysteries
of dark matter and dark energy, and the meaning of life in the universe are supported by numerous color illustrations including photos, maps and explanatory diagrams. In each chapter the author sets out the scientific history of a specific question or problem, before tracing the modern observations and evidence in order to solve it. Join David J. Eicher on this fascinating journey through the cosmos! Advance praise: ‘David Eicher has more than three decades’ experience of writing about astronomy for a general readership. His experience and enthusiasm shine through in this wide-ranging survey of current ‘hot topics’.’ Martin Rees, Emeritus Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics, University of Cambridge 2015 246 x 189 mm 296pp 90 colour illus. 978-1-107-06885-8 Hardback £19.99 / US$29.99 Publication December 2015 For all formats available, see

Sparse Image and Signal Processing Wavelets and Related Geometric Multiscale Analysis Second edition Jean-Luc Starck Centre d’etudes de Saclay, France
Fionn Murtagh Royal Holloway, University of London
and Jalal Fadili Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Caen, France
This thoroughly updated edition presents state of the art sparse and multiscale image and signal processing with applications in astronomy, biology, physics, MRI, digital media, and forensics. New chapters and sections cover dictionary learning, 3-D data (data cubes), and geo-located data. MATLAB® and IDL code are available. Review of previous edition: ‘One of the main virtues of this book is the expert insight that the authors provide into several design and algorithmic choices that one can face when solving practical problems. The authors give some guidance into understanding how sparsity helps in signal and image processing, what some benefits of overcomplete representations are, when to use isotropic wavelets for image processing, why morphological diversity can be helpful, and how to choose between analysis and synthesis priors for regularization in inverse problems.’ Michael B. Wakin, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine

The Impact of Discovering Life beyond Earth Edited by Steven J. Dick Library of Congress, Washington DC
The search for life in the Universe, once the domain of science fiction, is now a robust research program with a well-defined roadmap, from studying the extremes of life on Earth to exploring the possible niches for life in the Solar System and discovering thousands of planets far beyond it. In addition to constituting a major scientific endeavor, astrobiology is one of the most popular topics in astronomy, and is of growing interest to a broad community of thinkers from across the academic spectrum. In this volume, distinguished philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, historians and scientists discuss the big questions about how the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or microbial, would impact society. Their remarkable and often surprising findings challenge our foundational concepts of what the discovery of alien life may hold for humankind. Written in easily accessible language, this thought-provoking collection engages a wide audience of readers from all backgrounds. ‘Are we alone in the cosmos? If yes, we can never be sure. If no, we might well have an answer within the decade. The 22 authors of these fascinating and informative essays say no, we are not alone, despite the fact that so far not a shred of evidence has been found for the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. But just in case they are right, we need to start thinking about the possibility that we are not alone, and here is a good place to start.’ Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and author of God’s Planet

Quantum Mind and Social Science Unifying Physical and Social Ontology Alexander Wendt Ohio State University
This book proposes a quantum physical basis for consciousness and its place in the natural world, and explores the implications of this perspective for the social sciences. Wendt’s argument provides a philosophical basis for human agency through free will, and for a holistic or ‘non-local’ vision of social life. ‘Wendt’s second monograph has been eagerly anticipated. Was it worth the wait? Of course. Beautifully written and painstakingly argued, Quantum Mind and Social Science explores the potential impact that advances in quantum mechanics may have on the social sciences. Notwithstanding the fact that this is probably one of the best introductions to quantum mechanics I have read, the book also
