A short introduction ideal for students learning category theory for the first time.
Discover the mathematical riches of 'what is diversity?' in a book that adds mathematical rigour to a vital ecological debate.
Foundations of higher dimensional category theory for graduate students and researchers in mathematics and mathematical physics.
At last, a friendly introduction to modern homotopy theory after Joyal and Lurie, reaching advanced tools and starting from scratch.
This book develops the theory of infinite-dimensional categories by studying the universe, or ∞-cosmos, in which they live.
The long forgotten story of the sinking of the R.M.S. Leinster in the dying days of the First World War is brought back to life in this tale of the disaster. The book tells the stories of those on board the Leinster and UB-123 and examines not only the sinking but also its ramifications for those left behind.
Unexpectedly the starship Stellaris hurtled off the earth and into the farthest reaches of space. If only that was the only problem! No star maps, killer aliens and a ship that was only partially built.
From polar explorers and politicians to CEOs and sports coaches, we are fascinated with the makeup of leaders. How do they thrive under pressure and inspire others to do the same? How do they establish a culture of long-term success? Performance psychologist Tom Young has worked closely with teams and individuals at the highest level of professional sport. He has seen how leaders in these high-pressure environments communicate, how they maintain focus and respond to challenges. In The Making of a Leader, Young shares the practical principles of sustained elite performance and shows how any individual can add value to their own business or organisation by applying these insights.

Category theory provides a general conceptual framework that has proved fruitful in subjects as diverse as geometry, topology, theoretical computer science and foundational mathematics. Here is a friendly, easy-to-read textbook that explains the fundamentals at a level suitable for newcomers to the subject. Beginning postgraduate mathematicians will find this book an excellent introduction to all of the basics of category theory. It gives the basic definitions; goes through the various associated gadgetry, such as functors, natural transformations, limits and colimits; and then explains adjunctions. The material is slowly developed using many examples and illustrations to illuminate the concepts explained. Over 200 exercises, with solutions available online, help the reader to access the subject and make the book ideal for self-study. It can also be used as a recommended text for a taught introductory course.
