This work gives an introduction to the model thoery of fields. As well as the basic model theory of the fields of real and complex numbers, it focuses on differential fields and separably closed fields, the theories used in Hrushovski's proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields.

The model theory of fields is a fascinating subject stretching from Tarski's work on the decidability of the theories of the real and complex fields to Hrushovksi's recent proof of the Mordell–Lang conjecture for function fields. This volume provides an insightful introduction to this active area, concentrating on connections to stability theory.
