Lectures on Torus Embeddings and Applicationsby Tadao Oda - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
Theory of torus embeddings has find many applications. The point of the theory lies in its ability of translating meaningful algebra-geometric phenomena into very simple statements about the combinatorics of cones in affine space over the reals.

Geometry Unboundby Kiran S. Kedlaya
This is not a typical math textbook, it does not present full developments of key theorems, but it leaves strategic gaps in the text for the reader to fill in. The original text underlying this book was a set of notes for the Math Olympiad Program.
