'The range of topics presented in the book is astonishing. The present book is intended for physicists, but mathematicians will also find it highly valuable. The exposition of Grassmann's algebra given at the beginning of the book is exceptionally clear and is written with a light touch. It is extraordinarily well written and is a beautifully produced piece.' The Mathematical Gazette, Review of the hardback: 'I would therefore highly recommend this book for anyone wishing to enter this interesting and potentially fundamental area.'
