From the reviews:"In this monumental work, Marcel Berger manages to survey large parts of present day Riemannian geometry. … the book offers a great opportunity to get a first impression of some part of Riemannian geometry, together with hints for further reading." (A.Cap, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 145 (4), 2005) "Riemannian geometry has become a vast subject, influencing, famously, the development of general relativity and, more recently, the classification of 3-manifolds by hyperbolic structures … . Marcel Berger's book is an overview of this enormous subject. … Virtually everything is illustrated with clear and useful diagrams … . This is the sort of book one could dip into or refer to over a period of years." (Peter Giblin, The Mathematical Gazette, March, 2005)"Marcel Berger's A Panoramic View of Riemannian Geometry is without doubt the most comprehensive, original and idiosyncratic treatise on differential geometry … . he manages to include the most up-to-date references on even the most classical topics that he presents, and he puts far greater emphasis on applications. … the book concludes with a massive and extremely useful bibliography of 1310 items." (Robert Osserman, SIAM Review, Vol. 47 (1), 2005)"This book of one of the main contributors to Riemannian geometry has as a first goal to give an overview to most of the living topics of the subject. … A second goal is to show how many intuitive geometric questions lead to Riemannian geometry in a natural way. In my opinion it is this way of explaining … which makes the book highly recommendable to students as well as to experienced geometers. Furthermore, this book is clearly an encyclopedia in Riemannian geometry … ." (F.Manhart, Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, Issue 197, 2004)"This book is really a panorama. … the reading creates pleasure for the interested reader. … the book has intrinsic value for a student as well as for an experienced geometer.
