The first part of this book on Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups is written by E. B. Vinberg, V. V. Gorbatsevich, and O. V. Shvartsman. Various types of discrete subgroups of Lie groups arise in the theory of functions of complex variables, arithmetic, geometry, and crystallography. Since the foundation of their general theory in the 50-60s of this century, considerable and in many respects exhaustive results were obtained. This development is reflected in this survey. Both semisimple and general Lie groups are considered. Part II on Cohomologies of Lie Groups and Algebras is written by B. L. Feigin and D. B. Fuchs.
