Book itself has fraying on top of spine and other edges, staining/sunning, top corners a little bumped, t…iny dent/tear on bottom of back board, light tanning, soil on edge, text clean, binding tight.

Paperback. Condition: New. The central theme of this book is the interaction between the curvature of a complete Riemannian manifold and its topology and global geometry. The first five chapters are preparatory in nature. They begin with a very concise introduction to Riemannian geometry, followed by an exposition of Toponogov's… theorem-the first such treatment in a book in English. Next comes a detailed presentation of homogeneous spaces in which the main goal is to find formulas for their curvature. A quick chapter of Morse theory is followed by one on the injectivity radius. Chapters 6-9 deal with many of the most relevant contributions to the subject in the years 1959 to 1974. These include the pinching (or sphere) theorem, Berger's theorem for symmetric spaces, the differentiable sphere theorem, the structure of complete manifolds of non-negative curvature, and finally, results about the structure of complete manifolds of non-positive curvature. Emphasis is given to the phenomenon of rigidity, namely, the fact that although the conclusions which hold under the assumption of some strict inequality on curvature can fail when the strict inequality on curvature can fail when the strict inequality is relaxed to a weak one, the failure can happen only in a restricted way, which can usually be classified up to isometry. Much of the material, particularly the last four chapters, was essentially state-of-the-art when the book first appeared in 1975. Since then, the subject has exploded, but the material covered in the book still represents an essential prerequisite for anyone who wants to work in the field.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Printing [Stated]. xi, [1], 385, [3] pages. Footnotes. References. DJ has some wear and soiling and is in a plastic sleeve. Name and address of previous owner stamped on fep. The previous owner was E. Kurt Rottler of York, PA. This is believed to be the same E. Kurt…Rottler whose bequest funds The Rottler Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts that is annually made through the York Art Association. Rottler was a devoted member and President of the Board of Directors of the York Art Association from 1965 through 1970. This work covers Hemp, Opium, Peyote, Mushrooms and LSD. Among the first-person account contributors are: Charles Baudelaire, Thomas De Quincey, Jean Cocteau, William Burroughs, Billie Holiday, Havelock Ellis, Aldous Huxley, and Allen Ginsberg. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is the first collection of "the writings of travelers into drug-land", a documentation of sensation when under the influence of "hallucinogens", formerly known as phantastics, and it ranges from snuff (which one experimenter claims is the strongest) to LSD, with hemp and opium providing the largest body of evidence. The editor has provided comments on each contributor, as well as the drug used, and many great writers have recorded this experience, with its special excitation and iridescence, the spiraling vertigo of euphoria which often plunges into horror, in words. There's the opulence of Gautier's world of hashish; Baudelaire's "accursed sweetmeat" and the exaggerated perceptions induced: De Quincey and Havelock Ellis, Huxley and Cocteau ("It is rare for an addict to forsake opium. Opium forsakes him, ruining everything"); jazz artists Mezz Mezzerow (who found no bad after effects "outside of a 20 month jail sentence") and Billie Holiday; Allen Ginsberg and Alexander King; the account of the banker, Wasson, who discovered hallucinogenic mushrooms; a medical doctors' symposium; etc., etc. including a section on cures and the attendant agony. This does represent some of the truest and best writing this flowering of evil has produced.
