review text: This very readable survey of twistor geometry introduces the nonspecialist to some of the current problems and results of this very active area at the confluence of algebraic geometry, complex manifold theory, and mathematical physics. Unfortunately, the proofreading and typesetting of the paper leave something to be desired. [Remark: A partial list of the most glaring misprints can be obtained from the editorial office on request.]
