Review

Review of the hardback: From a review of the German edition: 'The work in its entirety bespeaks a monumental effort. I was repeatedly astonished by the thoroughness with which the author tracked down references and checked out different treatments of a topic ... Nitsche's book will be an invaluable aid to anyone working in the field for years and probably decades to come.' Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
