Media Reviews
The arguments are clear and full proofs are given. ... The whole text is actually built up around the idea of classification theorems. The inherent limitations of such an approach put aside, such glimpses of a distant horizon can do a lot towards stimulating the students to find more about the subject for themselves. * M Deaconescu, Zentralblatt fur Mathematik, Band 843/96. *
Clear and fast moving, as you'd expect from this author. * New Scientist, Ian Stewart, September 1996, *
