From the Back Cover
"Finsler Geometry: An Approach via Randers Spaces" exclusively deals with a special class of Finsler metrics -- Randers metrics, which are defined as the sum of a Riemannian metric and a 1-form. Randers metrics derive from the research on General Relativity Theory and have been applied in many areas of the natural sciences. They can also be naturally deduced as the solution of the Zermelo navigation problem. The book provides readers not only with essential findings on Randers metrics but also the core ideas and methods which are useful in Finsler geometry. It will be of significant interest to researchers and practitioners working in Finsler geometry, even in differential geometry or related natural fields.

Review
From the book reviews:
“The book under review is concerned with the simplest non-Riemannian Finsler metrics: the Randers metrics. It contains the most important results about this kind of Finsler metrics obtained in recent years. ... this text is a treasure for every researcher interested in Finsler geometry.” (Rafael Santamaría, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2014)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
