About The Book:

This volume by Mikhail Gromov is a seminal contribution to modern geometry and topology, representing the English translation of the renowned "Green Book" by Lafontaine and Pansu (1979). Widely respected in the mathematical community, the book explores deep insights into geometric group theory, metric structures, and global analysis.

Originally published in 1999 and reprinted with corrections in subsequent years, this 586-page illustrated edition is a cornerstone for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in mathematics and theoretical physics. Gromov’s approach emphasizes intuition, broad geometric vision, and the power of abstraction, offering readers a rare opportunity to engage with the evolving landscape of modern geometry.

This comprehensive and authoritative text from Birkhäuser is an essential addition to any academic library, particularly for those engaged in differential geometry, topology, or related mathematical fields.
