Reviews

'This is a most remarkable book, and it certainly gives a hand to many mathematician, researchers as well as graduate students. On less than 850 pages, the author present vital information about 124 subjects in 15 chapters, in a manner accessible to any broadly trained analyst...As a collection of broad and relevant information the book bears some similarity to the famous volumes of Dunford and Scwarz' Zentralblatt Mathematik 'This monumental book presents some of the most exciting developments of the past 15 years within operator algebra theory and its interaction with mathematical physics and algebraic topology...In the preface the authors state:this is aimed at graduate students and researchers in operator algebras, and statistical mechanics, algebraic, topolgical and conformal field theory and low dimensional topological invarieants. All ot these will find a rich source of study and references in this extensively annotated and documented volume, and not least a wide range of new perspectives on their own subject.'
