    This volume presents articles from four outstanding researchers who work at the cusp of analysis and logic. The emphasis is on active research topics; many results are presented that have not been published before and open problems are formulated. Considerable effort has been made by the authors to make their articles accessible to mathematicians new to the area

    • Many results are presented that have not been published before
    • Exposition is clear and accessible to all mathematicians
    • Excellent introduction to the current state of the art in infinite dimensional Banach space theory
