Review: "Hyperspaces presents both solved and unsolved problems in hyperspaces - including a number that appear in print for the first time...emphasizes the hyperspaces 2[superscript x] and C(X), where X is a continuum...discusses symmetric products, containment hyperspaces, selections, spaces of segments, and spaces of Whitney levels...incorporates basic material on absolute retracts, infinite-dimensional topology, Z-sets, Peano continua, boundary bumping, and the fixed point property...offers complete details for the solution of the dimension problem, the n-od problem, the product problem, and the characteristics of Class (W)...covers results on Whitney properties, Whitney-reversible properties, and their relations."--BOOK JACKET. "With numerous exercises, references, equations, drawings, and tables, as well as a list of over 300 papers written about hyperspaces in the past 20 years, Hyperspaces is an ideal reference for topologists and for pure and applied mathematicians in general and is a versatile text for graduate students in these disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
