Why are Braids Orderable?
by Patrick Dehornoy, at al.
2010
Number of pages: 206
Description:
In the decade since the discovery that Artin's braid groups enjoy a left-invariant linear ordering, several quite different approaches have been applied to understand this phenomenon. This book is an account of those approaches, involving self-distributive algebra, uniform finite trees, combinatorial group theory, mapping class groups, laminations, and hyperbolic geometry.

Groups as Graphsby W. B. V. Kandasamy, F. Smarandache - CuArt
In this book, for the first time, the authors represented every finite group in the form of a graph. This study is significant because properties of groups can be immediately obtained by looking at the graphs of the groups.
