    Clifford Algebras and their Applications in Mathematical Physics, (Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference), A. Micali, R. Boudet, and J. Helmstetter; Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht Date of publishing: (March 1992) 536 pp. Hardbound ISBN: 0-7923-1623-1
    The Electron New Theory and Experiment, edited by D. Hestenes and Antonio Weingartshofer, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht (July 1991) 412 pp. Hardbound ISBN: 0-7923-1356-9
    Clifford Algebras and Dirac Operators in Harmonic Analysis, by J. Gilbert and M. Murray, Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics 26 (1991), 342 pp., Hardback ISBN: 0-521-34654-1. The aim of this book is to unite the seemingly disparate topics of Clifford algebras, analysis on manifolds, and harmonic analysis. The authors show how algebra, geometry, and differential equations play a more fundamental role in Euclidean Fourier analysis. They then link their presentation of the Euclidean theory naturally to the representation theory of semi-simple Lie groups. Contents: Clifford Algebras / Dirac Operators and Clifford Analyticity / Dirac Operators and the Spin Group / Dirac Operators in the Analysis on Euclidean Space / Dirac Operators in Representation Theory / Dirac Operators in Analysis
    Twistor Geometry and Field Theory Ward, R.S. and Wells, Jr., R.O. This account of twistor treatment of certain linear and non-linear partial differential equations is essential reading for physicists working in field theory and relativity, and mathematicians applying algebraic geometry and several complex variables to physics.
