Papers on continuum theory show up fairly frequently in journals. Macias (Instituto de Matematicas, Mexico) gives the requisite background so often missing in descriptions of this aspect of topology, as well as some of his favorite topics, including Jones's set function T, homogeneous continua, and n-fold hyperspaces, offering the first detailed, systematic treatment of each and theorems not in print elsewhere, as well as a chapter on inverse limits. Writing for those who have completed a one-year course on topology, Macias includes a series of open-ended questions on each topic.
