My Books:	Calabi-Yau Manifolds — A Bestiary for Physicists (World Scientific, Singapore, 1992; hardcover) + 2nd, corrected and expanded edition, 1994, paperback: [ A ] [ B ] [ WSci, DOI:10.1142/1410 ] [ errata ] Cover photograph by Donna D’Fini for reviews, see: Physics Today, 6/93, p. 93-94 (by E. Witten) and Zentralblatt für Mathematik 771 (1993) 53002 (by J.D. Zund) [Zbl 0771.53002] An unsolicited opinion : “If you have ever wanted an explicit answer to the question, ‘What, exactly, is a Calabi-Yau manifold?’, this is the book you are looking for. Clear, far-ranging and full of brilliant insight, it is also a stylistic masterpiece, which is rare among math and physics books.” (rick1138, 11-04-2003, 11:39 PM; from www.physicsforums.com archive).

	Advanced Concepts in Particle and Field Theory (Cambridge University Press, July 31, 2015, harcover) [ CUP ] [ A ] [ B ] [ errata ] [ FAQ ] → reissued (2022) as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core [@inSPIREhep ↯] Adapted from the Publisher’s web-site: Uniting particle physics and quantum field theory with gravity and general relativity, this textbook of fundamental and theoretical physics describes the quest to consolidate the basic building blocks of nature. Designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students it provides a conceptually unified and logically consistent understanding of all matter at the fundamental level through worked examples, detailed derivations, as well as historical, philosophical and methodological commentary.
	The Weight of Quantum: Quantum Theory and the Structure of Physics with Djordje Minic (CRC Press, June 30, 2026) [ TBA ] From the Publisher’s web-site: This book provides a unified overview of “modern physics” — combining its foundational pillars: relativity, quantum physics and gravity — and takes the reader on a tour of fundamental physics, through structural, historical and biographical perspectives. The book presents a “big picture” of physics, as well as its completion in terms of a new vision of the quantum theory of space, time, matter and energy.
