"This book is a gentle introduction to the basics, and some of the gems, of geometric group theory. It gives a good flavor for many aspects of the field, the writing is clear and interesting, and there is an emphasis on examples. This is a great place to send students, both undergraduate and graduate, for a first look at geometric group theory."--Benson Farb, University of Chicago
"Original and encyclopedic."--Daniel Groves, University of Illinois, Chicago
"Office Hours with a Geometric Group Theorist takes students on a journey from a standard mathematical education into the realm of active and lively research, encouraging them to jump right into the thick of the subject by teaching them the basics in a no-nonsense, efficient, and pleasant way. Students will enjoy the ride."--Nicolas Monod, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne
"Office Hours with a Geometric Group Theorist is a fun and enticing introduction to a growing field of mathematics. It provides a valuable and much-needed resource for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty."--Ruth Charney, Brandeis University
