Fundamentals of hyperbolic geometry

"Here are re-issued articles from two classic sources on hyperbolic manifolds. The book covers the basic properties, and explains the mathematical framework for understanding the 3-dimensional spaces that support a hyperbolic metric. Part I is an exposition of Chapters 8 and 9 of Thurston's pioneering Princeton Notes; in addition, there is a new introduction describing recent advances, with an up-to-date bibliography, giving a contemporary context in which the classic articles can be set."--Jacket.
