description: This book is an introduction to complex hyperbolic spaces, a subject which is of interest in its own right and for its connections with diophantine geometry. Many of the results presented here, such as Brody's theorem, are appearing for the first time in book form. Lang begins with the basic background and continues to discuss hyperbolic embeddings, Brody's theorem, negative curvature on line bundles, curvature on vector bundles, Nevanlinna theory on P^1, holomorphic curves in P^n, and maps of the disc in P^n minus hyperplanes. This book should be useful to analysts, differential geometers, algebraic geometers, and number theorists, both at the research and graduate level.
