Publisher Synopsis
The book is written in a very clear and understandable way, with careful explanation of the main ideas and many remarks and comments, and it includes systematic suggestions for further reading ... It can be warmly recommended to mathematicians (in geometry and global analysis, in particular) as well as to physicists interested in string theory. EMS The first part is a very effective introduction to basic notions and results of modern differential geometry ... This book is highly recommended for people who are interested in the very recent developments of differential geometry and its relationships with present research in theoretical physics.
