Review

An original and smart attempt to cover various developments of the theory of generalized and new generalized functions, beginning with the simplest considerations on distributions and finishing with deep remarks on the links with non-standard analysis. As far as I know, this is the only book to achieve this goal. ...highly recommendable., Zentralblatt Math
