• Part 1 Expository and survey papers: matchbox manifolds; rotation sets for invariant continua; the fixed point property in dimension one; Menger manifolds; exactly k-to-1 functions - from pathological functions with finitely many discontinuities to well-behaved covering maps; a brief history of indecomposable continua; spans of continua and their applications; complex dynamics and continuum theory; continua on which 2-to-1 maps induce continuous involutions. Part 2 Research papers: end-points of inverse limit spaces and dynamics; essential span of simple closed curves; invertibility of the pseudoarc; inverse limit spaces, periodic points and arcs; a three dimensional prime end theory; a symbolic representation of inverse limit spaces for a class of unimodal maps; semi-aposyndesis and continuum chainability; inverse limits on [0,1] using tent maps and certain other piecewise linear bonding maps; on composants of indecomposable subcontinua of surfaces; minimal sets and chaos in the sense of devaney on continuum-wise expansive homeomorphisms; characterizations of Menger manifolds and Hilbert cube manifolds in terms of partitions; homology separation and 2-homogeneity; solenoids and bihomogeneity; openly homogeneous continua in 2-manifolds - a generalization of a theorem of Bing; a continuous decomposition of the Sierpinsky curve; extensions of Jakobsche's construction of n-homogeneous continua. Part 3 The Houston problem book: a list of problems known as Houston problem book.
