From the reviews: "This book is a nice and useful reference for researchers in functional analysis who wish to have a quite comprehensive survey of geometric properties of Banach spaces of vector-valued functions." ---Mathematical Reviews "This book ... gives in fact an exhaustive and very up-to-date account of several aspects of the general theory (isomorphic) and geometry of Banach spaces. This book is self-contained with an exhaustive list of references at the end of each chapter. Apart from well thought-out exercises at the end of each section, the 'Notes and Remarks' section at the end of each chapter contains several open questions with additional comments and references. This book is worth having on the shelves of anyone interested in Banach space theory. I thoroughly enjoyed going through it."(ZENTRALBLATT MATH) "This book, though somewahte restrictively entitled, gives in fact an exhaustive and very up-to-date account of several aspects of the general theory (isomorphic) and geometry of Banach spaces...
