"This is an excellent textbook, very good for a graduate course in algebraic geometry. ... The added exercises improve the quality of the book as a textbook. ... many new references are added to the ones in the original edition. ... I find very nice the last paragraph of every section, which contains bibliographic references; they reflect the author s point of view on the history of these mathematical discoveries and they give useful hints for further readings, both to students and to advanced researchers." --Marco Andreatta, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2001 k
"The present book is a translation of an earlier Romanian text and one might ask: why publish it anew? ... first of all it is the only existing monograph treating classification of algebraic surfaces in all characteristics in a reasonably self-contained manner. Secondly, it is very carefully written and gives all the necessary references. ... My conclusion is that the monograph is a good introductory text for self-study or for a graduate course for anyone with the required background ." --C. A. M. Peters, Nieuf Archief voor Wiskunde, Vol. 5/3 (4), 2002
"The book under review is the translation into English of the Romanian original ... . As this excellent textbook on general algebraic surfaces has not suffered loss from its actuality ... it finally has conquered its deserved place within the international literature ... . The exposition is very clear, thorough, rigorous, elegant, and positively creative. This makes the book into a still very valuable source ... . Without any doubt, this is one of the very best books on algebraic surfaces, now as before." --Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 965, 2001
Biography of Oscar Zariski
Oscar Zariski (24.4.1899-4.7.1986) was born in Kobryn, Poland, and studied at the universities of Kiev and Rome. He held positions at Rome University, John Hopkins University, the University of Illinois and from 1947 at Harvard University.
Zariski's main fields of activity were in algebraic geometry, algebra, algebraic function theory and topology. His most influential results bear on algebraic surfaces, the resolution of singularities and the foundations of algebraic geometry over arbitrary fields.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : No Dust Jacket. 2nd Edition. 270 pp. Tightly bound. Corners not bumped. Text is free of markings. No ownership markings. No dust jacket. PLEASE NOTE the reasons for the lower "good" rating. (1) There is light foxing to the page edges and the end papers. (2) The boards show light soiling from age and use along with some spine fade. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding. N° de réf. du vendeur 033090
