These are lecture notes on harmonic maps from surfaces by an expert in the field. Among the topics covered are existence, uniqueness (in a given homotopy class), and regularity questions. In particular, the energy concentration phenomenon connected with the ``bubbling off of spheres is discussed, which was first introduced by \textit{J. Sacks} and \textit{K. Uhlenbeck} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 113, 1-24 (1981; Zbl 0462.58014)]. The author also describes some related results for the harmonic map heat flow from surfaces. These notes give a very good overview over the topic. In particular, the proofs are very readable, skipping details but providing the necessary information in a well-organized way. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0941.00024].
