About this title

Review

Review of the hardback: '... the book is very crisply written, unusually easy to read for a book covering advanced material, and is moreover very concise for the book for reference, but is also an ideal book on which to base a series of seminars for research students, or indeed for research students to read by themselves.' P. M. H. Wilson, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society

Review of the hardback: '... a very good survey of present research.' European Mathematical Society

Review of the hardback: 'I can recommend it to anyone wanting to get a deeper knowledge than just getting a survey of some facts on the classification theory.' M. Coppens, Niew Archief voor Wiskunde

Review of the hardback: '... a very good survey of present research ... a very clear presentation of the subject.' EMS

Book Description

This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to the circle of ideas developed around Mori's program, the prerequisites being only a basic knowledge of the algebraic geometry. It will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers working in algebraic geometry and related fields.
