This is the first ever truly introductory text to the theory of tensor products of Banach spaces. Coverage includes a full treatment of the Grothendieck theory of tensor norms, approximation property and the Radon-Nikodym Property, Bochner and Pettis integrals. Each chapter contains worked examples and a set of exercises, and two appendices offer material on summability in Banach spaces and properties of spaces of measures.
