Moran, N.A. (2025)
Symbiosis: a very short introduction.
Oxford: Oxford University Press.
"Drawing examples from diverse species and ecosystems, Nancy Moran explains the main drivers that fuel the origins of symbiotic unions as well as the obstacles to their stable persistence. The roles of symbioses in shaping Earth and life are explored, along with their potential as tools in efforts to reduce negative effects of global change."--
Murphy, S. and Player, R. (2025)
Cryptography: a very short introduction.
Second edition. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
"Cryptography: A Very Short Introduction provides a clear and informative introduction to cryptography and data protection — subjects of considerable social and political importance. It explains what algorithms do, how they are used, the risks associated with using them, and why governments should be concerned."

Averting the Digital Dark Age: How Archivists, Librarians, and Technologists Built the Web a Memory.
1st ed. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press.
"In early 1996, the web was ephemeral. But by 2001, the internet was forever. How did websites transform from having a brief life to becoming long-lasting? Drawing on archival material from the Internet Archive and exclusive interviews, Ian Milligan's Averting the Digital Dark Age explores how Western society evolved from fearing a digital dark age to building the robust digital memory we rely on today.

Mathématiques pour la modélisation.
Malakoff: Dunod (Sciences sup).
"Le but de cet ouvrage est de proposer les outils mathématiques de base pour comprendre et utiliser les techniques de modélisation, de l’algèbre linéaire à la géométrie différentielle en passant par les espaces de Hilbert, avec pour objectifs le théorème de Lax-Milgram, les formules de Green-Ostrogradski et de Stokes, et une initiation à l'analyse des trois phénomènes fondamentaux de la nature : elliptiques, hyperboliques et paraboliques, illustrés par l’équation de Laplace, l’équation de la chaleur et l’équation des ondes."

Fundamentals of numerical computation: Julia edition.
Julia edition. Philadelphia: siam, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (Other titles in applied mathematics, 177).
"Julia is an open-source and fast-growing programming language for scientific computing that offers clarity and ease of use for beginners but also speed and power for advanced applications. Fundamentals of Numerical Computation: Julia Edition provides a complete solution for teaching Julia in the context of numerical methods. It introduces the mathematics and use of algorithms for the fundamental problems of numerical computation: linear algebra, finding roots, approximating data and functions, and solving differential equations. A clear progression from simple to more advanced methods allows for use in either a one-semester course or a two-semester sequence."
Robinett, R.W. (2024)
Dimensional analysis across the landscape of physics: classic results, textbook examples,... and exploration of research.
Oxford: Oxford University Press.
"Dimensional Analysis Across the Landscape of Physics introduces readers to the powerful idea that almost all physical quantities in science and engineering can be described using only five base dimensions: mass, length, time, charge, and temperature, and combinations thereof. Starting with the basics of how this foundational intellectual concept arises, it illustrates the use of dimensional analysis in approaching the solutions to textbook-level problems in physics and adjacent fields, ranging from introductory courses, through the advanced undergraduate curriculum, to advanced Physics electives. "
Keddy, P.A. (2024)
Wetland ecology: principles and conservation.
Third edition. Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY: Cambridge University Press.
"Richly illustrated in colour and packed with examples from every major continent and wetland type, this third edition has been completely rewritten to provide undergraduates with a thoroughly accessible introduction to the basic principles. It divides the world's wetlands into six principal types and presents six major causal environmental factors, arranged by importance and illustrated with clear examples, making it easy for instructors to plan tailored lectures and field trips and avoid overwhelming students with unnecessary detail."
Skinner, G.J. (2025)
Ants.
2nd ed. Exeter: Pelagic Publishing Ltd (Naturalists’ Handbooks Series, v. 24).
"This edition of Ants covers the general biology and ecology of species occurring in Britain and Ireland, including the Channel Islands. The book presents photographs and descriptions of workers for all the species on the regional list, together with distribution maps. There is also an account of some of the exotic species that may turn up in heated buildings. The extensively illustrated keys deal with workers, queens and males of all the species. These have been specially written and are the first comprehensive keys since those of the first edition 30 years ago. There are also quick-check keys to workers and nests, as well as a detailed list of kit suppliers and an extensive references."
Sark, W. van et al. (eds) (2024)
Photovoltaic solar energy: volume 2 ; from fundamentals to applications.
Piscataway, NJ: IEEE Press.
"Volume 2 of Photovoltaic Solar Energy provides fundamental and contemporary knowledge about various photovoltaic technologies in the framework of material science, device physics of solar cells, chemistry for manufacturing, engineering of PV modules, and the design aspects of photovoltaic applications, with the aim of informing the reader about the basic knowledge of each aspect of photovoltaic technologies and applications in the context of the most recent advances in science and engineering."
Commutative algebra.
Providence, Rhode Island: American Mathematical Society (Graduate studies in mathematics, 233).
