Recenzje

"The book under review is an extended version of a lecture course given by the author for physicists, and inherits all merits and demerits of the source. [...] In conclusion note, that the book is worth reading especially for topologists, since it explains hidden reasons why different constructions of new knot and 3-manifold invariants give nearly identical results."
