Excerpts from Caglar Uyanik's AMS Bookshelf review of Translation Surfaces by Jayadev S. Athreya and Howard Masur
"The study of translation surfaces and their moduli spaces has seen enormous growth in recent decades, and results in related areas have been recognized with prestigious awards such as Fields Medals, Breakthrough Prizes, and Clay Research Awards. There are several excellent surveys on this topic, but this is the first book that gives a comprehensive introduction to the subject.
"Translation Surfaces by Athreya and Masur is a wonderful addition to the literature with lots of beautiful pictures and clear exposition. I expect it to become the standard reference book for researchers and graduate students working in the area."
