Summary
"Geometric group theory is the study of the interplay between groups and the spaces they act on, and has its roots in the works of Henri Poincaré, Felix Klein, J.H.C. Whitehead, and Max Dehn. [This book] brings together leading experts who provide one-on-one instruction on key topics in this exciting and relatively new field of mathematics .... An...
