Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a self-contained treatment of the basic techniques of construction of equivalent norms on Banach spaces which enjoy special properties of convexity and smoothness. We also show how the existence of such norms relates to the structure of the space, and provide applications in various directions.
