A Hilbert \(C^*\)-module is, roughly speaking, a generalized Hilbert space in which the inner product is allowed to take values in an arbitrary \(C^*\)-algebra. Yet several important properties of Hilbert spaces cannot be obtained for general Hilbert \(C^*\)-modules. For example, each operator on a Hilbert space has an adjoint but a bounded module map on a Hilbert module is not adjointable in general. The first use of such objects was made by \textit{I. Kaplansky} [Am. J. Math. 75, 839--858 (1953; Zbl 0051.09101)]. The research on Hilbert \(C^*\)-modules began in the 1970s with the work of the induced representations of \(C^*\)-algebras by \textit{M. A. Rieffel} [Adv. Math. 13, 176--257 (1974; Zbl 0284.46040)] and with the seminal paper of \textit{W. L. Paschke} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 182, 443--468 (1973; Zbl 0239.46062)]. Hilbert \(C^*\)-modules play an essential role in operator algebras, \(KK\)-Theory, operator spaces, quantum group theory, Morita equivalence, \(AW^*\)-algebra theory, operator \(K\)-theory, group representation theory, and so on. Interacting with the theory of operator algebras and including ideas from non-commutative geometry, it progresses and produces results and new problems attracting attention. The book under review consists of 8 chapters. After briefly reviewing basic definitions of Hilbert \(C^*\)-module theory, operators on Hilbert modules are discussed in the second chapter. This chapter includes the definitions of adjointable and compact operators and basic properties of \(C^*\)-Fredholm operators, and a collection of important results on the representation of groups on Hilbert modules such as an equivariant version of the Kasparov stabilization theorem. Chapter 3 is devoted to the study of Hilbert modules over \(W^*\)-algebras. This chapter contains slightly modified results of \textit{W. L. Paschke} [loc. cit.] on self-dual Hilbert \(W^*\)-modules and of \textit{M. Frank} and \textit{E. V. Troitsky} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 30, No. 4, 257--266 (1996); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 30, No. 4, 45--57 (1996; Zbl 0922.58081)] on Fredholm operators over \(W^*\)-algebras. Chapter 4 starts with results of \textit{W. L. Paschke} [Can. J. Math. 26, 1272--1280 (1974; Zbl 0288.46058)] on inner products on bidual modules and continues with the investigation of reflexivity of Hilbert modules on \(C(X)\) and certain other \(C^*\)-algebras. The last section is devoted to Hilbert modules related to conditional expectations of finite index; cf. \textit{M. Frank, V. M. Manuilov} and \textit{E. V. Troitsky} [Z. Anal. Anwend. 16, No. 4, 831--850 (1997; Zbl 0903.46064)]. A comprehensive study of multipliers of compact operators and also of the strict topology is given in chapter 5. Some geometrical aspects of Hilbert \(C^*\)-modules based on equivalent inner products are discussed in the last section of this chapter [see, e.g., \textit{M. Frank}, Positivity 3, No. 3, 215--243 (1999; Zbl 0945.46043)]. Chapter 6 deals with diagonalization of operators over \(C^*\)-algebras. In particular, it is proven that a compact positive operator acting on a Hilbert \(C^*\)-module over a finite \(W^*\)-algebra can be reduced to diagonal form with diagonal entries from the algebra. Homotopy triviality of groups of invertible operators is investigated in chapter 7. This chapter is based on \textit{E. V. Troitsky} [Tr. Mat. Inst. Steklova 225, 362--380 (1999); translation from Proc. Steklov Inst. Math. 225, 344--362 (1999; Zbl 0987.46048)] and includes a simple proof of the theorem of \textit{J. Cuntz} and \textit{N. Higson} [Proc. Summer Conf., Iowa City/Iowa 1985, Contemp. Math. 62, 429--435 (1987; Zbl 0616.46066)]. In the last chapter, the authors study the Kasparov bivariant \(K-K\)-functor; cf. \textit{G. G. Kasparov} [Math. USSR, Izv. 16, 513--572 (1981); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 44, 571--636 (1980; Zbl 0448.46051)]. They briefly introduce the notions of interior and exterior tensor product of Hilbert modules. There is a bibliography listing 137 of the most important books and papers on the subject. The notation index is not complete and there are no exercises in the book. The book is, however, an up-to-date account of the basic material on Hilbert \(C^*\)-modules and includes some interesting examples. It seems to me that the book is an excellent book suitable for researchers.
