Banach Spaces with the Daugavet Property

This monograph presents a comprehensive treatment of Banach spaces with the Daugavet property and the geometric and operator-theoretic ideas that have emerged from Daugavet's celebrated norm identity. Covering more than sixty years of research, it brings together classical foundations and modern developments, with particular emphasis on the substantial progress achieved over the past quarter-century.

Through a coherent and carefully organised exposition, the book highlights the connections between the main themes of the subject and provides a unified perspective on a diverse body of results. The presentation combines mathematical depth with a strong pedagogical orientation, making advanced developments accessible without sacrificing rigour.

Serving both as a reference work and as an introduction to the area, the volume will be valuable to researchers in Banach space theory, specialists in neighbouring fields, and graduate students seeking entry into modern functional analysis.
