Topics vary each year but there are always three series of lectures by invited experts with evening exercises. [...] The themes of all three contributions are interrelated and together they give a nice introduction into a very interesting field of research on the border between mathematics and physics. l would like to strongly recommend the book to anybody interested in the topic. (jbu) European Mathematical Society Newsletter, Sept. 2004, p. 44 [...] This book is an excellent introduction to current research in the geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds, hyper-Kahler manifolds, exceptional holonomy and mirror symmetry. [...] This is an excellent and useful book. The different chapters mostly fit together reasonably well [...]. It will be popular with anyone trying to learn about Kahler manifolds with c1=0 and mirror symmetry. Richard P.
