It arrived!
Cover of "Explorations in Mathematical Physics", by Don Koks. It's by Springer. Brown with a green lateral. What it seems a gaussian curve with dashed lines below appears rotated 90 degrees.

Caustics moving due to the water falling from a nearby fountain.
Caustics at the bottom of a shallow pond, like golden threads of light. The water looks greenish. There's a stone rim and a pipe, too.

I don't usually buy popular science books when they are about physics or math. I prefer some more technical explanations, perhaps not necessarily textbooks, but more technical. But I do exceptions, like this one.

Almost all the popular physics books are […]

Spanish cover of Alain Aspect's book "If Einstein would have known it". Two particles, one red, another blue, seem to orbitate around a common point over a black background. Page of an appendix, showing some mathematical steps to prove Bell's inequalities (or some version of them). A few equations. Text in Spanish.

This arrived yesterday. It seems an accessible text, that even a serious high school student could follow. It bridges part of the gap between differential geometry and map projections in geodesy.
Cover of "Portraits of the Earth. A mathematician looks at maps", book by Timothy G. Feeman. Blue cover with green parts above and below. Golden letters and 3 maps as example. It's from the American Mathematical Society (AMS).

It has arrived!!
The cover of the book "Black Holes, a Student Text", with a black hole surrounded by stars and red and white gas. A page from the previous book. It begins to describe the Penrose process. Mostly text with a couple of equations.

Surrounded by bamboo.
A passage in a park surrounded by bamboo with a fountain at the end. The ceiling of the bamboos, closing over you. Densely packed green leaves against a barely discernible sky.
