From the reviews:“This is a very welcome addition to the bookshelves of those for whom it is mainly intended: graduate students and more experienced researchers using spinors in relativity or quantum field theory. It is a detailed and careful explanation, beginning with the important algebraic steps, and pushing carefully onward to the use of spinors to make powerful results in these fields of physics much easier to obtain. … This is definitely a book I will be very happy to have on my shelves … .” (J. D. Finley, III, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 g)“This book contains an elementary and essentially self-contained exposition of the two-component spinor formalism for a four-dimensional space-time having an arbitrary signature without appealing to the Clifford algebra methodology. … Each chapter includes numerous examples, and exercises, which make it ideal for the use as a textbook, a reference, or for independent study. It is a notable and welcome addition to the existing literature.” (Joseph D. Zund, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1206, 2011)
