  Abstract:   This book is a welcome and waited addition to the existent books on the history of functional analysis. In fact there were two such books - A. F. Monna, Functional analysis in historical perspective, Oetshoek, Utrecht, 1973, and J Dieudonné, History of functional analysis, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1981 - both of them covering the period up to 1950, so that a book dealing with the modern developments in Banach space theory was strongly required, a difficult task taken and brilliantly accomplished by the author of the present book.
