This expanded second edition of this work combines an account of the life and work of Bernhard Riemann with a lucid discussion of current interaction between topology and physics. The author, a distinguished mathematical physicist, takes into account his own research at the Riemann archives of Goettingen University and developments over the last decade that connect Riemann with numerous significant ideas.

Part 1 Bernhard Riemann: beginnings; doctoral dissertation; "privatdozent" at Gottingen; Riemann and Dirichlet; full professor in Gottingen; last years; posthumous fate. Part 2 Topological themes in contemporary physics: introduction; topological structures; the connectivity of a manifold and quantization of magnetic flux; systems with spontaneous symmetry breaking; topology and liquid crystals; theory of gauge fields; topological particles; soliton particles; knots, links and physics; what next?; a brief historical survey.
