Summary:

Princeton University Press is proud to have published the Annals of Mathematics Studies since 1940. One of the oldest and most respected series in science publishing, it has included many of the most important and influential mathematical works of the twentieth century. The series continues this tradition into the twenty-first century as Princeton University Press publishes the major works of the new millennium.

To mark the continued success of the series, all Looks are again available in paperback. For a complete list of titles, please visit the Princeton University Press web site: www.press.princeton.edu. most recently published volumes include:
