From the book reviews:
“The present edition accommodates all the materials of the old one and maintains its style and spirit. ... It will acquaint that audience with this beautiful area and provide it with enough resources for further study. We hope this book will reinforce interest and excitement in the subject called harmonic analysis on symmetric spaces and, like its previous edition, it will be an important addition to individual collections and all the libraries, undergraduate, graduate and research.” (Rudra P. Sarkar, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2014)
“An updated version of an established work of scholarship that has both stood the test of time, and remains very relevant and well-worth reading. The intended audience is very broad, and includes scientists outside of pure mathematics ... as well as mathematicians who wish to enter the indicated field and desire a very well-drawn road-map. ... And doing the exercises is a solid pedagogical experience that will inaugurate the novice as well as the interested ‘visitor’ into active areas of research.” (Michael Berg, MAA Reviews, November, 2013)
