About the Authors
  • The articles in these two volumes arose from papers given at the 1991 International Symposium on Geometric Group Theory, and they represent some of the latest thinking in this area. This first volume contains contributions from many of the world's leading figures in this field, and their contributions demonstrate the many interesting facets of geometrical group theory. For anyone whose interest lies in the interplay between groups and geometry, these books will be an essential addition to their library.
