 Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics 2000; 278 pp; hardcover Volume: 27 ISBN-10: 4-314-10140-7 ISBN-13: 978-4-314-10140-0 List Price: US$85 Member Price: US$68 Order Code: ASPM/27 This volume comprises some of the written lectures from the proceedings of the conference on hyperplane arrangements held at the Tokyo Metropolitan University as a Regional Workshop of the Mathematical Society of Japan. This workshop was in celebration of the sixtieth birthday of Peter Orlik. The book contains contributions from an impressive group of mathematicians across a wide range of topics in singularity theory, topology, combinatorics, and geometry. Volumes in this series are freely available electronically 5 years post-publication. Published for the Mathematical Society of Japan by Kinokuniya, Tokyo, and distributed worldwide, except in Japan, by the AMS.
