Description of  Affine Hecke Algebras and Orthogonal Polynomials (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics)

A satisfactory and coherent theory of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, attached to root systems, and depending on two or more parameters, has developed in recent years. This comprehensive account of the subject provides a unified foundation for the theory to which I.G. Macdonald has been a principal contributor. The first four chapters lead up to Chapter 5 which contains all the main results.
