Group actions in ergodic theory, geometry, and topology : selected papers / Robert J. Zimmer ; edited by David Fischer ; with a foreword by David Fisher, Alexander Lubotzky, and Gregory Margulis.

"This volume of Robert J. Zimmer's selected papers, collected here for the first time, provides a rich context for his now-classic insights on group actions. The volume opens with a foreword by David Fisher, Alexander Lubotzky, and Gregory Margulis, as well as a substantial introductory essay by Zim...
