Itisinparticularthequalityofmindoftheauthorandhisdeepphysical,as well as mathematical insights which make this book so special and inspiring. It is a 'must' for those who want to venture into a new approach to old problems or want to use new tools for new problems. Although topology has penetrated a number of elds of physics, a broad participationoftopologyintheclari cationandprogressoffundamentalpr- lems in the above-mentioned elds has been lacking. The new perspectives topology gives to the above-mentioned problems are bound to help in their clari cation and to spread to other elds of science. The sparsity of geometric thinking and of its use to solve fundamental problems, when compared with purely analytical methods in physics, could be relieved and made highly productive using the material discussed in this book. It is unavoidable that the physicist reader may have then to learn some new mathematics and be challenged to a new way of thinking, but with the author as a guide, he is assured of the best help in achieving this that is presently available.
