[T]his is a fascinating book in which one can get lost, but it seems a must for anyone interested in Riemann surfaces, quasiconformal mappings, Teichmüller theory, and deformation spaces, and in particular the history and developments of these subjects, but more generally also the history of mathematics and mathematicians between Europe and the US in the last century."—Bruno P.
