I.M. Gelfand, one of the leading contemporary mathematicians, largely determined the modern view of functional analysis with its numerous relations to other branches of mathematics, including mathematical physics, algebra, topology, differential geometry and analysis. With the publication of these Collected Papers in three volumes Gelfand gives a representative choice of his papers written in the last fifty years. Gelfand's research led to the development of remarkable mathematical theories - most now classics - in the field of Banach algebras, infinite-dimensional representations of Lie groups, the inverse Sturm-Liouville problem, cohomology of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, integral geometry, generalized functions and general hypergeometric functions. The corresponding papers form the major part of the Collected Papers. Some articles on numerical methods and cybernetics as well as a few on biology are included. A substantial part of the papers have been translated into English especially for this edition. This edition is rounded off by an extensive bibliography with almost 500 references. Gelfand's Collected Papers will be a great stimulus especially for the younger generation and give an incentive to researchers.

Collected papers
This is an American anthology of various pulp horror/thriller stories that really run the gamut of the genres. Everything's here from an execrable 'comic ghost' story, THE GHOST AND MR GREBNER, by Syd Hoff, to a Holmes pastiche as August Derleth's detective, Solar Pons, hunts down a killer in THE AMATEUR PHILOLOGIST.
A few of the stories are one-note ideas. Henry Slesar's VOODOO DOLL is a short and nasty joke; Talmage Powell's A FRIENDLY EXORCISE is the kind of story you'd expect from the silly pun in the title. THE HITCHHIKERS by Bruce Hunsberger and DOOM SIGNAL by John Lutz are straightforward crime thrillers.
Others are better. SEE WHAT'S IN THE BAG, by Hal Ellson, is a sweaty, hardboiled thriller writ large. FAT JOW AND THE WALKING WOMAN by Robert Alan Blair has a great title and a story that lives up to it. Lawrence Treat's PERFECT SHOT is a good twist-in-the-tale effort Helen Nielsen's THE SEVENTH MAN has a fine hard-bitten narrator. MANY WOMEN TOO MANY, by C. B. Gilford, may seem a little sexist to the modern reader, but it nevertheless adds humour to the collection. Ed Lacy's STORE COP is anecdotal but fun while TILL DEATH by Fletcher Flora is a great, fast-paced police procedural.
The best story is THE GLINT by Arthur Porges, a borderline horror-cum-thriller with a line in vivid characterisation.
