From the reviews: “The present book explains many of the basic techniques and … the classical results of fixed point theory, and normal structure properties. … Exercises are included in each chapter. As such, it is a self-contained book that can be used in a course for graduate students.” (Srinivasa Swaminathan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1176, 2010) “This book provides a presentation of fixed point theory for Lipschitzian type mappings in metric and Banach spaces. … An exercise section is included at the end of each chapter, containing interesting and well chosen material in order to cover topics complementing the main body of the text. … It is worthwhile to point out that a beginner in this area is certainly well served with this text … . A book including all … topics together for sure should be welcomed for graduate students.” (Enrique Llorens-Fuster, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 e)
