Description: "The Ricci flow method is now central to our understanding of the geometry and topology of manifolds. The book is an introduction to that program and to its connection to Thurston's geometrization conjecture." "The book is suitable for geometers and others who are interested in the use of geometric analysis to study the structure of manifolds."--BOOK JACKET
