This collection demonstrates the range and profundity of Stephen Smale's work. Its range is perceived by his fundamental contributions to so many diverse fields of mathematics, ranging from differential topology to mathematical economics, from the calculus of variations to mechanics, and from dynamical systems to the theory of computation. Analysing Smale's work, its profundity is to be seen in the fact that Smale has an astonishing ability to lay foundations, to invent techniques, and to create new concepts and ideas, as well as to work on hard problems such as the Poincaré conjecture for dimensions greater than or equal to five. The eight parts, into which the collected papers are grouped, are presented in three volumes: Vol. I contains Parts I--III, Vol. II Parts IV--VII, and Vol. III contains only Part VIII. Part I ``Topology presents the topological papers (17 titles) mainly concerning manifolds, differential topology, and the Poincaré conjecture. It is commented by M. Hirsch. Part II ``Economics comprises the papers mainly on global analysis methods in economics (16 titles). It is commented by G. Debreu. Part III ``Miscellaneous contains papers of general, political and autobiographical contents, addresses, talk-notes, and recollections by R. Bott, R. Thom, M. M. Peixoto, and E. C. Zeeman (9 titles). Part IV ``Calculus of variations (global analysis) and PDE's offers 8 papers and a book review. It is commented by A. I. Tromba. Part V ``Dynamics comprises 25 papers and besides an article of J. Palis on S. Smale's contributions to dynamical systems there is a section ``Discussion with contributions of S. Newhouse, R. E. Williams and others. Part VI ``Mechanics contains 4 papers and an article of J. E. Marsden about Smale's contributions to geometric mechanics. Part VII collects the papers on biology, electric circuits, and mathematical programming (8 titles). Part VIII ``Theory of computation presents 27 papers of S. Smale, and two articles about Smale's work on the theory of computation, one by M. Shub, the other by L. Blum and F. Cucker. This collection is well edited and allows a comfortable access to Smale's work.
