The author has completely reworked this superb textbook for a fully updated new edition. He has reorganized many of the sections, and cut or shortened material which is no longer essential. He has added a chapter on Ext and Tor, as well as some topology. In all this is a new version of a classic that is now fit for purpose, a key text geared to the needs of the graduate student. It covers, with proofs, the usual major branches of groups, rings, fields, and modules. Its inclusive approach means that all of the necessary areas are explored, while the level of detail is ideal for the intended readership. The text tries to promote the conceptual understanding of algebra as a whole, doing so with a masterful grasp of methodology. Despite the abstract subject matter, the author includes a careful selection of important examples, together with a detailed elaboration of the more sophisticated, abstract theories.
