Reviews

This book is a basic reference of web geometry and gives a new impulse to the further development of this theory and of the related fields: non-associative algebra, topological, combinatorial and algebraic geometry, theory of foliations and their applications. It is highly recommended to all mathematicians interested in the interrelations of analytical theory, geometry, algebra and topology.' Acta scientiarum mathematicarum, 54: 3/4, 1990
