Critics Review

‘Throughout, much care is taken to illustrate concepts and results with examples and applications.‘L’Enseignement Mathématique, 1992’The book is a refreshing account of the basic tools and techniques of the theory of topological and differentiable transformation groups. The exposition and the arrangement of the material is carefully aimed to make the subject accessible to graduate students with a modest background in algebraic topology.‘A.H. Assadi, Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete Mathematics Abstracts`The expressed aim of this book is to present an introduction to the theory of transformation groups which will be suitable for all those coming to the subject for the first time. Undoubtedly, this aim has been achieved, and it is very likely that in years to come, the book will serve as an easy to read textbook on topological transformation groups.‘Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung, Bd. 96, Heft 4
