Besides being remarkably clear (much like the cold air of Helgason's home country of Iceland), I think it's a great, wonderful bridge between the original works in Lie theory and the more basic textbook treatment||"This book has been famous for many years and used by several generations of readers. It is important that the book has again become available for a general audience." -- European Mathematical Society Newsletter

The study of homogeneous spaces provides excellent insights into both differential geometry and Lie groups. In geometry, for instance, general theorems and properties will also hold for homogeneous spaces, and will usually be easier to understand and to prove in this setting. For Lie groups, a significant amount of analysis either begins with or reduces to analysis on homogeneous spaces, frequently on symmetric spaces. For many years and for many mathematicians, Sigurdur...
