The Series on Knots and Everything: is a book series polarized around the theory of knots. Volume 1 in the series is Louis H Kanffman’’s Knots and Physics.
One purpose of this series is to continue the exploration of many of the themes indicated in Volume 1. These themes reach out beyond knot theory into physics, mathematics, logic, linguistics, philosophy, biology and practical experience. All of these outreaches have relations with knot theory when knot theory is regarded as a pivot or meeting place for apparently separate ideas. Knots act as such a pivotal place.We do not fully understand why this is so. The series represents stages in the exploration of this nexus.
