About this book
Reviews
"The book . . . supplies a lot of examples, and includes many recent results. It can be used either as an introduction to the subject or as a reference for students and researchers . . . [it] gives a clear and complete account of the main ideas . . . and studies a vast amount of related subjects such as integral submanifolds, symplectic structure of tangent bundles, curvature of contact metric manifolds and curvature functionals on spaces of associated metrics." —Mathematical Reviews
"Several examples accompany almost all chapters, in the first book in which the geometry of complex contact manifold[s] is presented. Always, a correct balance between theory and examples is maintained. Also the author gives detail and instructive proofs for basic results and states, without proofs, a great number of interesting results in addition to the corresponding references...[T]his is a pleasant and useful book and all geometers will profit [from] reading it. They can use it for advanced courses, for thesis topics as well as for references. Beginners will find in it an attractive [table of] contents and useful ideas for pursuing their studies." —Memoriile Sectiilor Stiintifice
