A Banach space \(X\) is weak Asplund provided that each convex continuous function over \(X\) is Gâteaux differentiable on some dense \(G_{\delta}\) subset of \(X\). The classical Mazur's theorem claims that every separable Banach space is weak Asplund. Thorough research into weak Asplund space is the topic of the book. The author exposes all relevant constructions and types of spaces. Among them are GSG spaces, WCG spaces, weakly countably determined spaces, preduals to spaces of Stegall's class, etc. The exposition naturally involves the topological technique of Eberlein, Gul'ko, and Radon-Nikodým compacta. The book consists of eight chapters: 1. Canonical examples of Weak Asplund Spaces. 2. Properties of Gâteuax Differentiability Spaces and Weak Asplund spaces. 3. Stegall's Class. 4. Two More Concrete Classes of Banach Spaces that lie in \(\widetilde S\). 5. Fragmentability. 6. ``Long Sequences of Linear Projections. 7. Vašák Spaces and Gul'ko Compacta. 3. A Characterization of WCG Spaces and of Eberlein Compacta. The book is supplemented with a short list of open questions. It also contains many apt remarks, a detailed index and a good selection of references. On the whole, the book is a welcome addition to the modern treasure trove of research monographs on the geometry of Banach spaces and convex analysis.
