    An infinite-dimensional Cantor manifold is an infinite-dimensional compact space which cannot be separated by any finite-dimensional subspace. So the Hilbert cube is a trivial example of an infinite-dimensional Cantor manifold. In this interesting paper the author presents an example of a weakly infinite-dimensional compact space which cannot be separated by any hereditarily weakly infinite-dimensional subspace. In addition, she proves that there exists an uncountable family of hereditarily infinite-dimensional Cantor manifolds \(\mathcal A\) such that if \(X, Y \in {\mathcal A}\) are distinct then \(X\) cannot be embedded in \(Y\) and \(Y\) cannot be embedded in \(X\). The results in the present paper answer questions posed by Krasinkiewicz and Yohe.
