This collection traces the career of Beno Eckmann, whose work ranges across a broad spectrum of mathematical concepts from topology and differential geometry through homological algebra to group theory. One of our most influential living mathematicians, Eckmann has been associated for nearly his entire professional life with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), as student, lecturer, professor, and professor emeritus.
The lectures offer a fascinating account of advances in pure mathematics from 1943 to 2004, as new topics and methods are introduced, and gradually become routine. The penultimate lecture is a personal-historical overview of algebraic topology, delivered in connection with the 40-year jubilee of the Institute for Mathematical Research (FIM), which Eckmann founded at ETH in 1964. In the final article, Eckmann looks beyond pure mathematics to consider the application in concrete fields of intellectual enterprise.

From the reviews:
"The book under review is a collection of twenty-one survey or expository lectures given by its distinguished author during the period 1943 and 2004 … . All are (broadly) in the fields of topology, algebra and differential geometry. … Students will learn an important and substantial swathe of 20th century geometrical mathematics by carefully reading this delightful book." (Ross Geoghegan, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 c)
"The papers are arranged chronologically, and cover more than 60 years of work. … The collection is rounded out by a couple essays on the place of mathematics in culture and its future. … I heartily recommend adding it to your library." (John McCleary, MAA Online, February, 2009)
