Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This is a monograph on fixed point theory, covering the purely
metric aspects of the theory-particularly results that do not
depend on any algebraic structure of the underlying space.
Traditionally, a large body of metric fixed point theory has been
couched in a functional analytic framework. This aspect of the
theory has been written about extensively. There are four classical
fixed point theorems against which metric extensions are usually
checked. These are, respectively, the Banach contraction mapping
principal, Nadler's well known set-valued extension of that
theorem, the extension of Banach's theorem to nonexpansive
mappings, and Caristi's theorem. These comparisons form a
significant component of this book. This book is divided into three
parts. Part I contains some aspects of the purely metric theory,
especially Caristi's theorem and a few of its many extensions.
There is also a discussion of nonexpansive mappings, viewed in the
context of logical foundations. Part I also contains certain
results in hyperconvex metric spaces and ultrametric spaces. Part
II treats fixed point theory in classes of spaces which, in
addition to having a metric structure, also have geometric
structure. These specifically include the geodesic spaces, length
spaces and CAT(0) spaces. Part III focuses on distance spaces that
are not necessarily metric. These include certain distance spaces
which lie strictly between the class of semimetric spaces and the
class of metric spaces, in that they satisfy relaxed versions of
the triangle inequality, as well as other spaces whose distance
properties do not fully satisfy the metric axioms.
Another Muppet adventure with Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Rizzo,
Fozzy and Animal. The Muppets must go to the North Pole to
personally deliver three letters to Santa after they accidentally
stop them from being posted. Trying to reach Santa before he sets
out on Christmas Eve to deliver presents, the hapless Muppets face
a whole host of obstacles and problems. Whoopi Goldberg, Uma
Thurman, Jane Krakowski and Tony Sirico also star.

Animated sci fi adventure featuring the voice of Jeff Daniels. When
a multi-billion dollar Space Agency probe disappears into a
wormhole, a circus performing chimpanzee named Ham III (voice of
Andy Samberg) is recruited to help locate the probe. Unfortunately,
Ham III is more interested in messing around than living up to his
illustrious heritage as the grandson of the first chimp in space.
However, when the peaceful inhabitants of a distant planet are
threatened by an evil dictator, the mischievous chimp is forced to
become a reluctant hero, with the help of his crewmates, Lt. Luna
(voice of Cheryl Hines) and their commander, Titan (voice of
Patrick Warburton).

Potatoes are a staple crop around the world. Covering all aspects
of botany, production and uses, this book presents a comprehensive
discussion of the most important topics for potato researchers and
professionals. It assesses the latest research on plant growth such
as tuber development, water use and seed production, covers all
aspects of pest management and reviews postharvest issues such as
storage, global markets, and of course, nutritional value and
flavour.
