This second edition, divided into fourteen chapters, presents a comprehensive treatment of contact and symplectic manifolds from the Riemannian point of view.

It is rarely taught in undergraduate or graduate curricula that the only conformal maps in Euclidean space of dimension greater than 2 are those generated by similarities and inversions in spheres. This is in stark contrast to the conformal maps in the plane. This book gives a treatment of this paucity of conformal maps in higher dimensions.
