A continuation of the authors' previous book, Isometries on Banach Spaces: Vector-valued Function Spaces and Operator Spaces, Volume Two covers much of the work that has been done on characterizing isometries on various Banach spaces.Picking up where the first volume left off, the book begins with a chapter on the Banach-Stone property.

Fundamental to the study of any mathematical structure is an understanding of its symmetries. In the class of Banach spaces, this leads naturally to a study of isometries-the linear transformations that preserve distances. In his foundational treatise, Banach showed that every linear isometry on the space of continuous functions on a compact metric

This Book will consist of poems, two short stories, and the short life of Malachi Jamison (the author's brother). Malachi Jamison was born on April 13, 1947. He entered the Navy in 1965 and was sent to the Vietnam War. He spent a year and a half in Vietnam. God brought him home safely. He then moved to Brooklyn in early 1976 and trusted the people of Brooklyn, New York. Malachi was killed in October 1976 in Brooklyn, New York. Malachi won the war in Vietnam but lost the battle in Brooklyn,...

A fascinating look at the scientific mysteries behind our everyday world—from night, light and gravity to our cosmic home and wonder itself.So much of what surrounds us feels familiar and mundane—until we look closer. C. Renée James opens the Universe to fantastical contemplation in this whimsical tour of seven everyday experiences: night, light, stuff, gravity, time, home, and wonder.James introduces each of these seven wonders with a simple question that ap...
