Continuation of the review by F.M.C. Witte from the back cover: "In 18 chapters Kleinert gives a thorough overview of the lightside of multivaluedness and its intriguingly vast range of physical applications. Whether in condensed matter physics, electromagnetism, or gravitation with or without torsion; just around very corner the appreciation of multivaluedness reveals fresh new insights into the structure of the theories describing such phenomena. What makes this book especially useful is that the four first chapters give a perceptive, condensed and yet highly readable account of the basic mathematical and physical tools of modern classical and quantum physics. The book breathes the same atmosphere of thoroughness as Kleinert's well-known book on path-integrals.Multivalued Fields is an extremely enjoyable and through-provoking read for the graduate student or active researcher in any part of physics. A definite eye-opener."Chapters
