Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes Integrals

'Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes integrals by R. B. Paris and D. Kaminski is one of the first new, extended texts to be published in English since the recent advances began, and is a mixture of existing and novel techniques and applications. … but the comprehensive nature of this work means that it is likely to become one of the most significant textbook references for Mellin-Barnes theory. Every university with physical scientists, engineers or mathematicians who use asymptotic expansions should have at least one copy of this book.' Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
