Overall this is a carefully written, highly readable book on a very beautiful subject. -Mathematical Reviews The book of J.J. Duistermaat is a nice introduction to analysis related [to the] spin-c Dirac operator. ... The book is almost self contained, [is] readable, and will be useful for anybody who is interested in the topic. -EMS Newsletter The author's book is a marvelous introduction to [these] objects and theories. -Zentralblatt MATH
