This book is novel in its broad perspective on Riemann surfaces: the text systematically explores the connection with other fields of mathematics. The book is unique among textbooks on Riemann surfaces in its inclusion of an introduction to Teichmüller theory. For this new edition, the author has expanded and rewritten several sections to include additional material and to improve the presentation. «
