Publisher Synopsis
<br>"An extremely welcome addition to the literature on Riemannian geometry, that displays the richness of the interplay of Sasakian geometry with algebraic geometry. It contains comprehensive references to the literature, and good short overviews of proofs of the more sophisticated results."--Mathematical Reviews<p><br> Read more...
