The Chemistry and Physics Behind the Numbers by Michael E Green (City University of New York, USA)
The essential point of the book is to show students in Introductory Chemistry classes how to obtain answers that are at least reasonable, and to realize when there must have been an error because the answer falls outside the range of possible values. Students often leave ridiculous answers because they simply plug into equations they have memorized (correctly or incorrectly). They have not learned to think about the meaning of the numbers that appear in their calculations. This book attempts to show students how to correct this.

Corporate Convenience by Cartel Membership by PetterGottschalk (BI Norwegian Business School, Norway)
This book explores cartels through the lens of the theory of convenience, which identifies motives, opportunities, and willingness as key drivers of deviant corporate behavior. By analyzing recent case studies, it explains how and why executives in competitive industries may collude, and how convenience— varying by individual and context—shapes cartel dynamics. The book argues that antitrust efforts must target the convenience of cartel membership to reduce wrongdoing.
Readership: Scholars in competition law, corporate crime, management, compliance, and sociology; students in business ethics and white-collar crime; and regulatory authorities, police academies, and consulting firms.

The Law of Conservation of Value
by NickHarkiolakis (Hult International Business School, USA)
This book proposes a new framework in which value is treated as a conserved quantity in economics—similar to energy or momentum in physics. Value, defined as the potential to act in an environment, encompasses wealth, health, knowledge, and emotional fulfillment. The book introduces concepts like marginal value and its rate of change, and models economic transactions as cycles where value is preserved. It also explores producer–consumer dynamics, government roles, and sustainable growth using real-world examples.
Readership: Academics, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in economics; also suitable for general readers interested in economic theory.

Fraud Detection and Risk Management in Internet Finance
by QingqingRen (Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, USA) & HualingLiu (Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, China)
This book presents an anti-fraud model for detecting individual and group fraud in internet finance, along with a risk control system for online credit platforms. Focusing on credit scoring and fraud detection, it applies machine learning, deep learning, and network analysis to real-time user data. It constructs an internet finance dictionary for sentiment analysis and public opinion monitoring, explores risk contagion across platforms, and offers actionable mitigation strategies.
Each internet finance platform is treated as a research node, contributing to the creation of an interconnected internet finance platform network. Through network analysis, complex network theory, and public opinion text mining, the book develops both correlation and measurement models. These models explore how information dissemination influences investment and lending behaviors, investigate the relationship between cross-platform information propagation and platform risk, and analyze the dynamics of risk contagion across platforms.

The Mathematical Aspects of Barrier Options
by
Mehmet FuatBeyazıt (Istanbul Bilgi University, Turkey)
This book explains the types of barrier options that are widely traded in Over-the-Counter (OTC) markets and secondary markets. The main objective of the book is to analyze the basic pricing formulae of the different types of barrier options and to produce comprehensive, detailed and explanatory derivations of the pricing formulae.
The book is also aimed at practitioners working in the financial world. The detailed derivation of the formulae will enable the finance practitioners to understand sophisticated financial products better. Also, the book gives the methods on how to hedge the barrier options which are the risky instruments for the writers/ practitioners, particularly when the underlying variable is at the neighborhood of the barrier.
It is also expected that the approach, and especially the clearly applied methods in deriving partial barriers, will help broaden the perspectives of students and academics interest in this subject.
