About this Book

The authors develop further the theory of operads and analytic functors. In particular, they introduce the bicategory     of operad bimodules, that has operads as  -cells, operad bimodules as  

-cells and operad bimodule maps as 2-cells, and prove that it is cartesian closed. In order to obtain this result, the authors extend the theory of distributors and the formal theory of monads.
