Since the first ICM was held in Zürich in 1897, it has become the pinnacle of mathematical gatherings. It aims at giving an overview of the current state of different branches of mathematics and its applications as well as an insight into the treatment of special problems of exceptional importance. The proceedings of the ICMs have provided a rich chronology of mathematical development in all its branches and a unique documentation of contemporary research. They form an indispensable part of every mathematical library. The Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians 1994, held in Zürich from August 3rd to 11th, 1994, are published in two volumes. Volume I contains an account of the organization of the Congress, the list of ordinary members, the reports on the work of the Fields Medalists and the Nevanlinna Prize Winner, the plenary one-hour addresses, and the invited addresses presented at Section Meetings 1 - 6. Volume II contains the invited address for Section Meetings 7 - 19. A complete author index is included in both volumes. ''...the content of these impressive two volumes sheds a certain light on the present state of mathematical sciences and anybody doing research in mathematics should look carefully at these Proceedings. For young people beginning research, this is even more important, so these are a must for any serious mathematics library. The graphical presentation is, as always with Birkhäuser, excellent....''

Felix Hausdorff gehört zu den herausragenden Mathematikern der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Eine Gesamtausgabe seiner Werke galt lange als Desideratum. Die auf 8 Bände veranschlagte Edition wird Hausdorffs gesamtes publiziertes Opus enthalten, ferner eine Reihe bemerkenswerter Stücke aus dem umfangreichen wissenschaftlichen Nachlaß. Alle Texte werden von Fachleuten auf den einzelnen Gebieten sorgfältig kommentiert; an dieser Arbeit sind mehr als 20 Mathematiker, Mathematikhistoriker, Astronomen, Philosophen und Literaturwissenschaftler aus vier Staaten beteiligt. Der vorliegende Band IV enthält Hausdorffs Arbeiten zur Analysis, Algebra und Zahlentheorie, darunter die klassischen auch heute noch vielzitierten Texte zu Hausdorff-Maß und Hausdorff-Dimension und zum Hausdorffschen Kugelparadoxon. Aus dem Nachlaß werden 19 Faszikel publiziert, ferner einige interessante Briefe.
