Reviews

This research monograph is a highly readable and pleasant introduction to the toolkits that the authors call braid foliation techniques, a small but relatively underdeveloped corner of low-dimensional topology and geometry. It is written at a level that will be accessible to graduate students and researchers and is carefully structured and filled with useful examples. - J.S. Birman, Mathematical Reviews The AMS once more presents the mathematical community with a strong text geared to getting graduate students and other relative beginners into the game. The present book is thorough and well-structured, leads the reader pretty deeply into the indicated parts of knot and link-theory and low-dimensional topology and does so effectively and (as far as I can tell) rather painlessly...All in all, the book looks like a hit. - Michael Berg, MAA Reviews
