This independent account of modern ideas in differential geometry shows how they
can be used to understand and extend classical results in integral geometry. The
authors explore the influence of total curvature on the metric structure of
complete, non-compact Riemannian 2-manifolds, although their work can be
extended to more general spaces. Each chapter features open problems, making the
volume a suitable learning aid for graduate students and non-specialists who
seek an introduction to this modern area of differential geometry.
