This volume is dedicated to Carl Pearcy on his 60 birthday. It collects recent contributions to operator theory, nonselfadjoint operator algebras, measure theory, and the theory of moments by several of the lead- ing specialists in those areas. Many of the contributors are collaborators or former students of Carl Pearcy, and the variety of the topics bears witness to the wide range of his work and interests. The editors were helped by many in the compilation of this volume. Srdjan Petrovic helped compile Carl's list of publications, while Arlen Brown and George Exner helped in writing the biographical and mathematical sketch.
