Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decades of the 20th century tremendous progress has been achieved in geometry. The discovery of deep interrelations between geometry and other fields including algebra, analysis and topology has pushed it into the mainstream of modern mathematics. This Special Issue of Geometric And Functional Analysis (GAFA) in honour of Mikhail Gromov contains 14 papers which give a wide panorama of recent fundamental developments in modern geometry and its related subjects. The book is a collection of important results and an enduring source of new ideas for researchers and students in a broad spectrum of directions related to all aspects of geometry and its applications to functional analysis, PDE, analytic number theory and physics. This is a reprint from GAFA, Vol. 5 (1995), No. 2., enlarged by a short biography of Mikhail Gromov and a list of his publications.
