The book is divided into 8 chapters. The author gives a detailed and strict introduction to contact topology. The following questions are treated: basic facts of contact geometry, contact manifolds, contact Hamiltonians, Darboux’s theorem and neighbourhood theorems, contact structures on 3-manifolds, knots in contact 3-manifolds, symplectic cobordisms, convexity and Levi pseudoconvexity, contact surgery, Brieskorn manifolds, Boothby-Wang construction, contact structures on 5-manifolds etc.
The exposition is clear and well organized.
This monography can be used as an introduction to contact topology by PhD students and professional researchers. (Zentralblatt)
