W. Thurston’s notes, ”The geometry and topology of 3-manifolds”, are of fundamental importance for all current research in low-dimensional topoloy. As class notes, they are often sketchy and are occasionally obscure. The authors have prepared a careful and detailed exposition of certain important portions of those notes, particularly of important topics in section 8 of those notes. For example, they treat the developing map, convexity, the deformation space, thickenings, the thick- thin decomposition, geometric and algebraic convergence, geodesic laminations and pleated surfaces.
