This volume provides a self-contained introduction to the theory of tensor products of Banach spaces. It is written for graduate students in analysis or for researchers in other fields who wish to become acquainted with this area. The only prerequisites are a basic knowledge of functional analysis and measure theory.

Each chapter is accompanied by worked examples and a set of exercises, and two appendices provide essential material on summability in Banach spaces and properties of spaces of measures that may be new to the beginner.
