J-holomorphic Curves and Symplectic Topology

This second edition continues to serve as the definitive source of information about some areas of differential topology ($J$-holomorphic curves) and applications to quantum cohomology. The main goal of the book is to establish the fundamental theorems of the subject in full and rigorous detail. It may also serve as an introduction to current work in symplectic topology. The second edition clarifies various arguments, includes some additional results, and updates the references to recent developments.
