Dimension Theory

“The monograph contains a great deal of useful and up-to-date material on dimension theory; the exposition is transparent and well organized which makes it possible to use this work both as a textbook of dimension theory and a base of research projects in numerous areas.” (Vladimir Tkachuk, zbMATH 1471.54001, 2021)
