"The book . . . supplies a lot of examples, and includes many recent results. It can be used either as an introduction to the subject or as a reference for students and researchers . . . [it] gives a clear and complete account of the main ideas . . . and studies a vast amount of related subjects such as integral submanifolds, symplectic structure of tangent bundles, curvature of contact metric manifolds and curvature functionals on spaces of associated metrics." -- Mathematical Reviews
"Several examples accompany almost all chapters, in the first book in which the geometry of complex contact manifold[s] is presented. Always, a correct balance between theory and examples is maintained. Also the author gives detail and instructive proofs for basic results and states, without proofs, a great number of interesting results in addition to the corresponding references...[T]his is a pleasant and useful book and all geometers will profit [from] reading it. They can use it for advanced courses, for thesis topics as well as for references. Beginners will find in it an attractive [table of] contents and useful ideas for pursuing their studies." -- Memoriile Sectiilor Stiintifice

From the reviews of the second edition:
"In this book, contact and symplectic manifolds are studied from a Riemannian point of view ... . The book is an excellent reference work for researchers interested in the Riemannian geometry of contact and symplectic manifolds as well as a very good introduction to the subject, containing a lot of examples. The number of examples has even increased compared to the first edition." (Joeri Van der Veken, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 d)
