Revue de presse

The author succeeds admirably in his goal of providing an introduction to semigroup theory suitable for graduate students and non-specialists. At the same time, specialists will also find much to attract them. The book is highly readable, and the author takes pain to lead the reader gently through the longer proofs. I am sure that all specialists will want to own a copy of the book, that non-specialists will find it a most attractive and useful book for consulting, and that for many years to come research students will learn their subject from this book. (Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society)

The book provides a useful survey of a rapidly developing topic and is suitable for specialists and as an introduction to the subject for non-specialists and graduate students. (Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.5, May 1996.)

This book will still have its outstanding place as a general introduction to semigroup theory offering both an updated overview of the subject and a suitable entree for the graduate student (Monatshefte fur Mathematik Vol. 124 1997)

With this well-written and well-organised book I think the author has ensured that "Howie" will continue to be a byword for semigroup books (Edinburgh Mathematical Society 1997)
