Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition: “This encyclopedia, dedicated to the theme ‘distances’ in the areas of pure mathematics up to abstract spaces, applied mathematics and applications, includes an impressive rich amount of different topics and knowledge areas. … The encyclopedia is highly recommended for students and researchers and everybody who is interested in increasing his knowledge on this fascinating field of distances.” (Gertraud Ehrig, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1259, 2013) “This is the second edition of the original text (2006). There are several additions, corrections and some streamlining has been done, but the general idea and structure is maintained. The concept of distance is interpreted in its broadest possible sense. In 29 chapters, the concept of distance is placed in as many different contexts by giving an enumeration of definition and properties. … The paper version is clearly a welcome asset in a mathematics library.” (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, December, 2012)
