Small book cover: The Geometry and Topology of Three-Manifolds

The Geometry and Topology of Three-Manifolds
by

Publisher: Mathematical Sciences Research Institute
ISBN/ASIN: B00072N0KI
Number of pages: 502

Description:
The author's intent is to describe the very strong connection between geometry and lowdimensional topology in a way which will be useful and accessible (with some effort) to graduate students and mathematicians working in related fields, particularly 3-manifolds and Kleinian groups.
