    This is an interesting book on the study of compactness and stability for nonlinear elliptic equations in the inhomogeneous context of closed Riemannian manifolds, which is a field presently undergoing great development. Some blow-up phenomena and the recent progress on the subject such that the new ideas, concepts, methods, and theories in the field are summarized in the book. As a typical equation, special attention is paid to the following stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a smooth compact Riemannian \(n-\)manifold \((M,g)\) without boundary: \[ - \triangle_g u +h(x)u=u^{p-1}, \;p\in (2,\frac{2n}{n-2}] \text{ with } n\geq 3, \] where \(h\in \mathcal{ C}\) and \(\mathcal{ C}\) is a given class of functions, such as \(L^\infty\), \(C^1\) or \(C^{0,\alpha}\) with \(\alpha \in (0,1)\). There are eight chapters in the book: In Chapter 1, some model equations related to the generic stationary nonlinear Schrödinger equation which is used as a typical equation in the book are discussed; Chapter 2 is concerned with two basic variational methods for solving nonlinear elliptic PDEs, the sub and super solution method (non-variational) for the Einstein-scalar field Lichnerowicz equation; In Chapter 3, the \(L^p\) and \(H^1\)-theories for blow-up are discussed. Chapter 4 is concerned with describing several results on the opposite side of constructive analysis, where the existence of blowing-up sequences of solutions for the model equations are shown. In Chapter 5, different notions of stability for elliptic PDEs, including analytic stability and bounded stability, are discussed; Chapter 6 is concerned with bounded stability; In Chapter 7, the \(C^0\)-theory for blow-up is described; Chapter 8 is concerned with analytic stability and the notion of range of influence of blow-up points.
