Mukhi, Lectures on Advanced Mathematical Methods for Physicists
This book surveys Topology and Differential Geometry and also, Lie Groups and Algebras, and their Representations. The former topic is indispensable to students of gravitation and related areas of modern physics, including string theory. The latter has applications in gauge theory and particle physics, integrable systems and nuclear physics, among many others. The style of presentation is such that the mathematical statements are succinct and precise, but skip involved proofs that are not of primary importance to the physics reader.

Artificial Mythologies: A Guide to Cultural Invention
Artificial Mythologies was first published in 1997. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
