This book is the second volume of the "Handbook of the History of General Topology". The contributions contained concern either individual topologists, specific schools of topology, specific periods of development, specific topics or a combination of these. The second volume focuses on the work of famous topologists, such as "W. Sierpinski", "K. Kuratowski" (both by R. Engelkind)," S. Mazurkiewicz" (by R. Pol) and "R.G. Bing" (by M. Starbird). Furthermore, it contains articles covering uniform, proximinal and nearness concepts in topology (by H.L. Bentley, H. Herrlich, M. Husek), "Hausdorff Compactifications" (by R.E. Chandler, G. Faulkner), "Continua Theory" (by J.J. Charatonik), "Generalized Metrizable Spaces" (by R.E. Hodel), "Minimal Hausdorff Spaces and Maximally Connected Spaces" (by J.R. Porter, R.M. Stephenson Jr.), "Orderable Spaces" (by S. Purisch), "Developable Spaces" (by S.D. Shore) and "The Alexandroff-Sorgenfrey Line" (by D.E. Cameron).
