This book can be viewed as a bridge between the study of metric spaces and general topological spaces. About half the book is devoted to relatively little-known results, many of which are published here for the first time. The author sketches a theory of uniform transformation groups, leading to the theory of uniform spaces over a base and hence to the theory of uniform covering spaces.
