"This book gives an important contribution on the study of web geometry and its relation with algebraic and complex geometry. ... We also note that the book is presented in a self-contained way. ... We remark that several very interesting and different examples are presented and the book moreover illustrates the interplay with several areas of mathematics." (Arturo Fernandez-Perez, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2016) "The main aim of the book under review is to present the basic results on this fascinating area of geometry. ... The book is written in a clear and precise style. ... this monograph will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers working in the field of web geometry." (Gabriel Eduard Vilcu, zbMATH 1321.53003, 2015)
