This is the most comprehensive survey of the mathematical life of the legendary Paul Erdős (1913-1996), one of the most versatile and prolific mathematicians of our time. For the first time, all the main areas of Erdős'' research are covered in a single project. Because of overwhelming response from the mathematical community, the project now occupies over 1000 pages, arranged into two volumes. These volumes contain both high level research articles as well as key articles that survey some of the cornerstones of Erdős'' work, each written by a leading world specialist in the field. A special chapter "Early Days", rare photographs, and art related to Erdős complement this striking collection. A unique contribution is the bibliography on Erdős'' publications: the most comprehensive ever published. This new edition, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Paul Erdős'' birth, contains updates on many of the articles from the two volumes of the first edition, several new articles from prominent mathematicians, a new introduction, and more biographical information about Paul Erdős with an updated list of publications.

The second volume contains chapters on graph theory and combinatorics, extremal and Ramsey theory, and a section on infinity that covers Erdős'' research on set theory. All of these chapters are essentially updated, particularly the extremal theory chapter that contains a survey of flag algebras, a new technique for solving extremal problems.

The first volume contains the unique chapter "Early Days", which features personal memories of Paul Erdős by a number of his colleagues. The other three chapters cover number theory, random methods, and geometry. All of these chapters are essentially updated, most notably the geometry chapter that covers the recent solution of the problem on the number of distinct distances in finite planar sets, which was the most popular of Erdős'' favorite geometry problems.

Diversity is not only our social obligation. It is a business imperative.

In early 2016, a group of leaders in the investment and savings profession met and concluded that future success for their clients, members, employers and shareholders requires a diverse and inclusive culture and that the sector was lagging behind others in reflecting our society. 

That led to the creation of The Diversity Project: a cross-company initiative whose purpose is to champion and accelerate progress towards a more inclusive culture. They believed they had an extraordinary opportunity to press the reset button in the industry: to recruit, nurture and retain the first truly diverse generation of investment and savings professionals.

This book recounts the progress made to date, discusses the progress that still needs to be made and sets out practical ways to achieve it.

The Diversity Project is a practical guide for business leaders, managers and employees who want to:

- Understand the different aspects of diversity and inclusion

- Develop strategies to help build a more inclusive work culture

- Support colleagues to navigate the challenges of the workplace 

- Structure HR process and policies to support all types of employees

- Build a truly successful business harnessing the power of diverse thinking
