The Preface and the Introduction give an extremely well-done overview of the contents of the book, meant for a wide scope of readers. What results is a carefully written very readable text. (Rolf Berndt, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2022) The monograph presents its interesting subject in a highly insightful, lucid, and accessible fashion; it will therefore be relevant to anyone with an interest in Arakelov geometry. While its results are technical, they are motivated, described and proved as clearly as can be. (Jeroen Sijsling, zbMATH 1471.11002, 2021)
