    In 2006, \textit{Pei-Kee Lin} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 68, No.~8 (A), 2303--2308 (2008; Zbl 1151.46006)] answered a long-standing open problem by proving that there is an equivalent norm \(|||\cdot|||\) on the Banach space \(\ell^1\) such that \((\ell^1, |||\cdot|||)\) has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. In the article under review, the authors use many of Lin's ideas to prove that, if a Banach space \(X\) has a certain type of basis and every subspace of \(X\) contains a subspace that is asymptotically isometric to \(\ell^1\), then there is a norm \(|||\cdot|||\) on \(X\) such that every subspace of \((X, |||\cdot|||)\) contains a subspace with the fixed point property. The authors also obtain results about the fixed point property of the Banach space itself and they use these results to give examples of nonreflexive Banach spaces not isomorphic to \(\ell^1\) that have the fixed point property for nonexpansive self-maps of nonempty, closed, bounded, convex sets.
