Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The book provides an accessible, well-written monograph devoted to the theory of principal sheaves and their connections in the setting initiated by, Geometry of vector sheaves. … It is designed also as a reference book with detailed expositions and complete and self-contained proofs." (Witold Mozgawa, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1082, 2006)
