Karl Menger, one of the founders of dimension theory, belongs to the most original mathematicians and thinkers of the twentieth century. He was a member of the Vienna Circle and the founder of its mathematical equivalent, the Viennese Mathematical Colloquium. Both during his early years in Vienna, and after his emigration to the United States, Karl Menger made significant contributions to a wide variety of mathematical fields, and greatly influenced some of his colleagues. The Selecta Mathematica contain Menger's major mathematical papers, based on his own selection of his extensive writings. They deal with topics as diverse as topology, geometry, analysis and algebra, as well as writings on economics, sociology, logic, philosophy and mathematical results. The two volumes are a monument to the diversity and originality of Menger's ideas.

Die gesammelten mathematischen und philosophischen Werke von Hans Hahn erscheinen hier in einer dreibandigen Ausgabe. Sie enthalt samtli che Veroffentlichungen von Hahn, mit Ausnahme jener, die ursprtinglich in Buchform erschienen - dazu gehoren neben dem zweibandigen Werk tiber Reelle Funktionen auch die Einfuhrung in die Elemente der hdheren Mathematik, die er gemeinsam mit Heinrich Tietze schrieb, seine An merkungen zu Bolzanos Paradoxien des Unendlichen und mehrere Kapi tel fUr E. Pascals Repertorium der hdheren Mathematik. Nicht aufge nommen wurden auch die Buchbesprechungen von Hahn, bis auf seine Besprechung von Pringsheims Vorlesungen uber Zahlen- und Funktions lehre, die einen eigenen Aufsatz tiber die Grundlagen des Zahlbegriffs darstellt. Hahn war nicht nur einer der hervorragendsten Mathematiker dieses lahrhunderts: Sein EinfluB auf die Philosophie war auch hochst bedeut sam. Das kommt in der Einleitung, die sein ehemaliger Schiiler Sir Karl Popper fUr diese Gesamtausgabe geschrieben hat, deutlich zum Ausdruck. (Diese Einleitung ist der lctzte Essay, den Sir Karl Popper verfaBte. ) Hahn schrieb ausschlieBlich auf deutsch. Wir haben seine Arbeiten in Teilgebiete zusammengefaBt (was auch auf andere Art geschehen hatte konnen) und ihnenjeweils einen englischsprachigen Kommentar vorange stellt. Diese Kommentare, die von hervorragenden Experten stammen, be schreiben Hahns Arbeiten und ihre Wirkung."

Adequate blood supply to the eye is an important prerequisite for normal visual function. Over the past 40 years our knowledge of ocular blood flow regulation has improved significantly. This reader-friendly textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of ocular blood flow. Lavishly illustrated, it evaluates the wide array of methods that have been used to measure ocular blood flow. Furthermore, it not only offers the reader an evidence-based summary of the physiological and pharmacological properties of ocular blood flow regulation, but also demonstrates the ocular blood flow abnormalities in different vascular diseases. This book will enhance the understanding of all who are interested in learning more about ocular blood flow in health and disease.

Like Descartes and Pascal, Hans Hahn (1879-1934) was both an eminent mathematician and a highly influential philosopher. He founded the Vienna Circle and was the teacher of both Kurt Goedel and Karl Popper. His seminal contributions to functional analysis and general topology had a huge impact on the development of modern analysis. Hahn's passionate interest in the foundations of mathematics, vividly described in Sir Karl Popper's foreword (which became his last essay), had a decisive influence upon Goedel. Like Freud, Musil and Schoenberg, Hahn became a pivotal figure in the feverish intellectual climate of Vienna between the two wars. Volume 1: The first volume of Hahn's Collected Works contains his path-breaking contributions to functional analysis, the theory of curves, and ordered groups. These papers are commented on by Harro Heuser, Hans Sagan, and Laszlo Fuchs. Volume 2: The second volume deals with functional analysis, real analysis and hydrodynamics. The commentaries are written by Wilhelm Frank, Davis Preiss, and Alfred Kluwick. Volume 3: In the third volume, Hahn's writings on harmonic analysis, measure and integration, complex analysis and philosophy are collected and commented on by Jean-Pierre Kahane, Heinz Bauer, Ludger Kaup, and Christian Thiel. This volume also contains excerpts of Hahn's letters and accounts by his students and colleagues.
