Goh Chok Tong was an improbable Prime Minister for an unlikely country. He had neither the connections nor the cunning to rise to the top, and was even once famously derided by his mentor Lee Kuan Yew for being “wooden” in his communication skills. Except for an imposing height most unusual in this part of the world, he was an ordinary man. He lost his father at a young age, lived in a two-bedroom public flat with his mother and four siblings and needed a government bursary to complete university.

Yet somehow he succeeded. Tall Order tells the extraordinary story of his life and career over half a century, revealing how Singapore›s second Prime Minister rose through a combination of Rights Information: strength, wit and a political nous which many, including himself, did not know he had.

2 WORLD SCIENTIFIC Foreign Rights Spring Catalogue 2019 Asian Studies China’s Change injects timely, original ideas into the world›s most important, if confused, debate over how to manage the twin challenges of anaemic economic growth and accelerating global disruption. Change is the cry from the US to Europe, Asia to Australasia. The snag is the West has no playbook to help. China however, to regain control of its future, has regularly reinvented itself by understanding change›s nature through traditional philosophy.

This book argues it is time to “Look at China” but stresses China’s approach to managing change only supplies the process not individual policies: the how not the what. Policies have to be created locally. In managing change, traditional thought is China’s X-Factor, the key to China’s record- breaking economic transformation. To grasp this, China’s Change provides an understanding of China›s past, present and future through its philosophy, history, economics, business, politics, prospects and impact in a way that no other book has done.

Two big global questions are answered. Can other countries, firms and individuals find paths out of their dim twilight by adapting China’s change process? Can China continue to create one-third of world growth, more than the US, EU and Japan combined, to help cure the last decade’s global economic malaise?

China’s roadmap for change enables anyone to navigate growing global disruption. Ironically China’s process is built on such ignored-in-the-West ideas as long-term thinking, clear priorities, gradualism and non-ideological pragmatism that earlier powered two centuries of Western economic dominance. If the West and rest of Asia learn from China to manage change, the next global surprise could be another turning of the tables. There is no end to history, only more turns of the wheel: for now China’s Change is again the Greatest Show on Earth.

Readership: General public interested in the social, political, economic and financial development of China as well as world affairs.

Key Features: • Identifying China’s understanding of change to explain China’s record-breaking economic recovery is unique; and a process that can be applied in the rest of the world • “Look to China” is a startling and very unconventional idea for those in the West and parts of Asia battling with slow growth, economic challenges and no clear idea how to solve current problems: yet they have looked to China before with great success • China’s Change weaves decades of detailed on-the-ground research and observations to correct major misconceptions such as ghost cities, shadow banking and excessive debt, while describing China›s process that makes change work.

Foreign Rights Spring Catalogue 2019 WORLD SCIENTIFIC 3 Editor’s Choice Future Automation Changes to Lives and to Businesses By (author): Timothy E Carone (University of Notre Dame, USA)

“Future Automation is a mind-expanding experience in the form of a book. It helps me envision what›s next for rapidly changing business models and to project the likely impact of autonomous systems on people and society. As a leader of talent programs for thousands of professionals, understanding and effectively navigating the nexus of humans and machines is critical to my firm›s ability to compete — both as a values- and people-based professional firm and as a prosperous business. Despite complexities addressed, the book is highly readable, as the authors provide compelling graphics and evocative analogies.” Martin Fiore Americas Tax Talent Leader, Ernst & Young LLP

The world overstates the present fear of future risk. Autonomous systems are our future. One day 300pp we will wake up to some event that will make it clear that the robots have taken over but just not Pub. date: Sep 2018 in the way we always thought. Robots take many forms. A driverless car is a robot. A drone over 978-981-3142-32-9 Afghanistan is a robot. Siri is a robot as are high frequency trading systems. And the autonomous US$78 / £65 / SGD111 systems that Amazon uses to manage their warehouses and logistics are collections of robots acting in concert. In short, robots, or autonomous systems, are slowly taking over the execution of 978-981-3142-33-6(pbk) US$39 / £32 / SGD55 key processes that run our businesses and our lives. We define an autonomous system to be an integration at the data and process level of three components: sensors or the Internet of Things that collect data; big data that stores and processes data; and artificial intelligence, which takes the information, makes decisions, and acts. On occasions, we add in actuators, which are motors that are responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. Other words for an autonomous system with actuators are “robot,” “driverless car,” and “unmanned drone.”

In this book we show how autonomous systems when coupled with the blockchain and additive manufacturing will substantially change business models and our lives. It is clear that the transition to more autonomous systems operating in our society will come from the ground up and will be used to support processes that do not involve humans and human safety. Mostly this falls into the realm of logistics, farming, and some financial services. It does not fall into the area of healthcare where the adoption of autonomous system will be slower and presumably much more highly regulated. Healthcare though will be the place where the human + autonomous system evolves over time and shows how the weaknesses of machines are solved by the strengths of humans and vice versa. There is one area that can serve as the test bed for autonomous system in other industries. The logistics industry is already highly automated but it can also serve as a test bed for autonomous ports, trucks, planes, and our personal favorite, the Trone, which is a drone that can carry at least as much cargo as a long haul tractor-trailer. Change is coming and it is in many forms and will show up in different places at different times.

The concept of a chemical bond evolved from a variety of experimental observations. It became useful to understand, at times even predict, the molecular structure, reactivity and mechanism of chemical reactions. Every aspect of the concept of bonding received a quantitative interpretation from the advent of quantum mechanics and its application to chemistry.

In Lectures on Chemical Bonding and Quantum Chemistry the reader will find a comprehensive discourse on the basic interpretation of the chemical bond as well as current understanding in terms of a «dancing» molecule that not only travels, rotates and pulsates around an equilibrium molecular structure, but also interacts and collides with other molecules, thereby transferring linear and angular momentum characteristics and adjusting total energies.

6 WORLD SCIENTIFIC Foreign Rights Spring Catalogue 2019 Computer Science Unlocking Consciousness Lessons from the Convergence of Computing and Cognitive Psychology By (author): Charles T Ross (British Computer Society, UK)

In order to bridge the gap between artificial and synthetic intelligence, we must first understand our own intelligence. ‘What is intelligence?’ might appear as a simple question, but many great minds have agreed that there is no singular answer. Unlocking Consciousness attempts to examine this central question through exploring the convergence of computing, philosophy, cognitive neuroscience and biogenetics.

The book is the first of its kind to compare comprehensive definitions of both information and intelligence, an essential component to the advancement of computing into the realms of artificial intelligence. In examining explanations for intelligence, consciousness, memory and meaning from the perspective of a computer scientist, it offers routes that can be taken to augment natural and artificial intelligence, improving our own individual abilities, and even considering the potential for creating a prosthetic brain.

Economics and Finance Capitalism in the 21st Century Why Global Capitalism Is Broken and How It Can Be Fixed By (author): Donghyun Park (Asian Development Bank, Philippines)

“The 21st century capitalist economy is marked by globalization but also globalization backlash. It features radical technological change but also stagnant productivity. Above all it is defined by the rise of China and Asia and their challenge to the prevailing order. Donghyun Park in this book does an admirable job of navigating this complex landscape.” Barry Eichengreen George C Pardee & Helen N Pardee Professor of Economics and Political Science University of California, Berkeley

“This insightful and timely book provides an interpretation of the backlash against capitalism in the 21st century. Dr Donghyun Park, a seasoned economist with ample field and research experience in applied economics and finance, overviews the dynamics of this backlash with the help of several Rights Information: examples, and outlines possible remedies. Capitalism is far from perfect and must bear some All language rights blame for global problems. But the book’s central argument is that it is not capitalism per se but available. the grotesquely deformed capitalism of the 21st century that is failing. More specifically, capitalism has been hijacked by the financial industry, which is no longer the valuable tool of capitalism that 360pp channels capital to entrepreneurs and companies. Instead, it has become a self-serving leviathan Pub. date: Feb 2019 whose blind pursuit of profit almost wrecked the world economy in 2008. This book should provide an essential reference for scholars, graduate students, and practitioners.” 978-981-3274-23-5 Joshua Aizenman US$68 / £60 / SGD101 Robert R and Katheryn A Dockson Chair in Economics and 978-981-3275-29-4(pbk) International Relations and US$38 / £35 / SGD36 Professor of International Relations and Economics University of Southern California

Foreign Rights Spring Catalogue 2019 WORLD SCIENTIFIC 7 “Capitalism in the 21st Century is a frank, provocative and passionate discussion of fundamental strengths and deficiencies of modern capitalism. Dr Donghyun Park argues that while capitalism is not functioning as well as we would like it to, the solution is to fix it rather than to throw it away — the alternatives are much worse. This is much needed and timely analysis of market failures — and of government failures — which brings about the conclusion that in some cases we need more rather than less capitalism.” Sergei Guriev Chief Economist European Bank for Reconstruction and Development

“Capitalism is currently under siege in the battlefield of public opinion. Capitalism is widely blamed for virtually all of the major problems plaguing the world today, from inequality to environmental Economics and Finance degradation to inhumane poverty. Wide and growing inequality in particular is undermining the foundations of democratic, socially beneficial capitalism by undermining popular belief in equality of opportunity. However, this eloquent and perceptive book by Dr Donghyun Park, a well-published research economist, cogently argues that entrepreneurial capitalism remains a central part of the solution to humanity’s most pressing challenges. The argument is supported by a wide array of interesting and relevant real-world examples. Returning capitalism to its Adam Smith-ian roots of private self-interest promoting the social good requires reforming the role of the government and financial system in the economy. The book concludes that there is every reason for a better capitalism and a better tomorrow.” Otaviano Canuto Executive Director Executive Board of Directors of the World Bank Group and its Affiliates

“Dr Donghyun Park is a prominent and rare economist in Asia who can combine frontline economic theories, lively data, and real-time policy analyses. Capitalism in the 21st Century is a masterful book by Dr Park, providing a comprehensive understanding of heterogenous trajectories of economies around the globe and more fundamental mechanisms of the modern capitalistic system. This is a ‹must-read› for those who are interested in comparative economic systems, global economy, and international development.» Yasuyuki Sawada Chief Economist, Asian Development Bank Professor of Economics, University of Tokyo

“Donghyun Park makes clear that capitalism gets a bad rap, in large part because of too much emphasis on capital as in financial engineering, and too much emphasis on capitals as in government protectionism. Park argues a compelling case that genuine capitalism, which is about entrepreneurship, is necessary to solve the big problems most people face around the globe.” Adam S Posen President, Peterson Institute of International Economics

Global capitalism is currently suffering from an unmistakable malaise, epitomized by wide and growing inequality that is eroding popular support for capitalism. Such anti-capitalist sentiment, coupled with a growing anti-globalization mood, delivered Brexit in a UK referendum and swept Donald Trump to the US presidency. In Capitalism in the 21st Century, internationally well- regarded economist Dr Donghyun Park articulately explains why more capitalism is needed to tackle global problems such as climate change and inhumane poverty. While defending capitalism against its unfair demonization, the author makes a positive case for entrepreneurial capitalism, which creates wealth and jobs as well as drives human progress. According to the author, reforming the financial industry, which has become a self-serving leviathan, and more fundamentally, tweaking the economic role of the government, which stifles growth-promoting entrepreneurship, are critical to restoring the vitality of capitalism. The book is explicitly written in such a way that the general reader without any background in economics or finance can easily understand it.

Readership: General readers.

This book should be required reading for any economics or finance major.” Clemens Kownatzki, PhD, MBA Academic Director MS Applied Finance Practitioner Faculty of Finance, Pepperdine University

“Those of us who are reductionists appreciate the relative simplicity mathematics can bring to increasingly complex situations. Those of us who are human appreciate that the complexities of the systems that are inherently part of life and living cannot be reduced simply to a series of mathematical equations.

This textbook aims to explain the principles in international trade theory and show how some useful trade models work. The book concentrates on two fundamental issues in international trade, that is, the “determinants of trade patterns” and the “welfare gains from trade” in various economic environments. Chapters 1 through 3 assume perfect competition and explore the workings of the Ricardian model, the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model, the Specific Factors model and more recent development of the Eaton-Kortum model. Chapter 4 examines various welfare criteria and their relation to the “social utility function” and, then, proves the basic gains-from-trade proposition. Chapters 5 and 6 examine the implications of imperfect competition using a unified oligopolistic model and variations of the monopolistically competitive model. The roles of the strategic interaction among firms, the economies of scale, product differentiation, the heterogeneity of firms, and the geographic distribution of agents will be highlighted.

Reversing Climate Change How Carbon Removals can Resolve Climate Change and Fix the Economy By (author): Graciela Chichilnisky (Columbia University, USA) & Peter Bal (Millemont Institute, USA)

The Kyoto Protocol capped the emissions of the main emitters, the industrialized countries, one by one. It also created an innovative financial mechanism, the Carbon Market and its Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which allows developing nations to receive carbon credits when they reduce their emissions below their baselines. The carbon market, an economic system that created a price for carbon for the first time, is now used in four continents, is promoted by the World Bank, and is recommended even by leading oil and gas companies. However, one critical problem for the future of the Kyoto Protocol is the continuing impasse between the rich and the poor nations.

Panic is the common initial reaction from a person diagnosed with cancer. Most patients, with a lack of knowledge about the nature of cancer and the treatment options, become anxious to learn about cancer and how to overcome the notorious disease.

However, it is not easy for cancer patients to gain a comprehensive understanding of the scientific and medical knowledge about cancer. The main reason is that the information needed is scattered in many different resources, and the information is complex and difficult for ordinary people to understand.

In an attempt to help ordinary people understand cancer and its medical science, the author has written this book in an easy-to-understand style, so that patients can manage cancer more effectively in their life time.

Providing information for patients to understand the why, how, and what with each step of treatment plan, as well as a realistic range of possible outcomes, is very important. Information can help patients reduce anxiety and give patients a greater sense of ownership in their treatment process. The sense of ownership is imperative to growing a positive attitude for patients fighting cancer.

This book is a one-stop shop, easy-to-understand guidebook for cancer patients to understand: • Why and how do people get the cancer? • Can we prevent the cancer? • What is the difference between cancer and other diseases? • What should we do if cancer is diagnosed or progressed? • How can we treat the cancer? • Where does the cancer treatment end?

Readership: The book is an easy-to-read roadmap for cancer patients to understand why people could develop cancer, the different types of cancer, anticancer drugs and treatment plans upon diagnosis. The book also covers the importance on quality of life, hospice care and palliative care for terminal patients.

Key Features: • This book is a one-stop shop, easy-to-understand guidebook for cancer patients • This book explains important concepts about cancer such as the onset of cancer, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, recovering from cancer, the recurrence of cancer, rehabilitation programs, and pathways to the end of life • Provides information for patients to understand why, how, and what with each step of treatment plan, as well as a realistic range of possible outcome. This helps to reduce anxiety and give patients a greater sense of ownership in their treatment process

It is a story that bears on aspects of the history of science, the history of philosophy and the history of mathematics. At the heart of the narrative is the important philosophical practice of performing thought experiments — that is, the art of considering an idealized experiment in the mind. This powerful technique has been used by all the great historical practitioners of science and mathematics, and this book looks specifically at the long history of considering what would happen if an object could be dropped into a tunnel that cuts all the way through the Earth’s interior. Indeed, the story begins with a historical whodunit, tracing back through the historical literature the origins of what is now a classic, textbook problem in simple harmonic motion.

Editor’s Choice Lectures of Sidney Coleman on Quantum Field Theory Foreword by David Kaiser Edited by: Bryan Gin-ge Chen (Leiden University, Netherlands), David Derbes (University of Chicago, USA), David Griffiths (Reed College, USA), Brian Hill (Saint Mary›s College of California, USA), Richard Sohn (Kronos, Inc., Lowell, USA) & Yuan-Sen Ting (Harvard)

“Sidney Coleman was the master teacher of quantum field theory. All of us who knew him became his students and disciples. Sidney’s legendary course remains fresh and bracing, because he chose his topics with a sure feel for the essential, and treated them with elegant economy.” Frank Wilczek Nobel Laureate in Physics 2004

“When stumped on some physics, I often still ask myself, even after nearly forty years, ‘What Rights Information: would Sidney say?’ His lectures and their transcriptions were models of clarity and charm. The All language rights subjects remain crucial to frontier physics. This volume is a treasure.” available. Hugh David Politzer Nobel Laureate in Physics 2004

78-981-4635-50-9(pbk) “Sidney Coleman’s course on quantum field theory was one of the most memorable and enjoyable US$88 / £75 / SGD130 experiences of my physics education. Uniquely meticulous and insightful, these notes from his lectures will be invaluable to anyone interested in the cornerstone topic of modern physics.” Sean Carroll Caltech and author of Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity

32 WORLD SCIENTIFIC Foreign Rights Spring Catalogue 2019 Physics “Sidney Coleman’s Field Theory lectures at Harvard were a staple of every particle physicist Harvard graduate student’s education ... the ideas — like all good physics concepts — have survived the decades beautifully. In a labor of love and educational devotion, a team of former students and TAs teamed up with professors and experts to share his legacy in perpetuity.” Lisa Randall Harvard

“It may seem strange to refer to a book on Quantum Field Theory as ‘fun’ — but this book is fun. The reader not only sees important physics and math, but also gets to appreciate a Master Teacher at work. It is wonderful to have these lectures written down so that they can be pored over and savored multiple times. David Politzer said it best in the acknowledgment in his Nobel- Prize-winning thesis on asymptotic freedom. ‘To Sidney Coleman my teacher and advisor, who with his cleverness and cunning, conned me into thinking that good physics is simple, I am forever indebted ... Thanks to him, my understanding of field theory has never been so clear, but sometimes my head feels funny.’” Howard Georgi Harvard

Sidney Coleman was a physicist’s physicist. He is largely unknown outside of the theoretical physics community, and known only by reputation to the younger generation. He was an unusually effective teacher, famed for his wit, his insight and his encyclopedic knowledge of the field to which he made many important contributions. There are many first-rate quantum field theory books (the venerable Bjorken and Drell, the more modern Itzykson and Zuber, the now-standard Peskin and Schroeder, and the recent Zee), but the immediacy of Prof. Coleman’s approach and his ability to present an argument simply without sacrificing rigor makes his book easy to read and ideal for the student. Part of the motivation in producing this book is to pass on the work of this outstanding physicist to later generations, a record of his teaching that he was too busy to leave himself.

Readership: Graduate students and academics interested in quantum field theory.

Key Features: • Based on Coleman’s own handwritten notes, two sets of notes from former graduate students, homework, solutions, past examinations • Some missing steps addressed in derivations or arguments, maintaining as far as possible Coleman’s own language

Liquidator The Chernobyl Story By (author): Sergei Belyakov (Theracross Technologies, Singapore)

In the late April of 1986, the world learned about the quaint town in the Central Ukraine — Chernobyl. The largest nuclear catastrophe in the history of mankind, which affected the lives of millions and millions, had forced the USSR government to take unprecedented actions. One of them was the formation of a cleanup crew from the Army reservists. They were tasked with a titanic chore of cleaning the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant from radioactive debris after the explosion of Reactor #4. Sergei Belyakov, then a PhD scientist, volunteered to become one of the many “nuclear jumpers” of that long-forgotten crew. This book sums up his recollections about that nuclear jumper stint. It is written not as a traditional memoir, but as an alloy of personal views and feelings, templated over the information about the Chernobyl disaster from the official sources of those days.

Quantum Field Theory II By (author): Mikhail Shifman (University of Minnesota, USA)

This textbook grew out of lecture notes the author used in delivering a quantum field theory (QFT) course for students (both in high energy physics and condensed matter) who already had an initial exposure to the subject.

It begins with the path integral method of quantization presented in a systematic and clear-cut manner. Perturbation theory is generalized beyond tree level, to include radiative corrections (loops). Renormalization procedures and the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG flow) are discussed, asymptotic freedom of non-Abelian gauge theories is derived, and some applications in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) are considered, with a brief digression into the Standard Model (SM). The SM case requires a study of the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry, a phenomenon which would be more appropriate to call “Higgsing of the gauge bosons.” Other regimes attainable in gauge theories are explained as well. In the condensed matter part, the Heisenberg and Ising model are discussed. The present textbook differs from many others in that Rights Information: it is relatively concise and, at the same time, teaches students to carry out actual calculations All language rights which they may encounter in QFT-related applications. available.
