Galois Theories (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

Rating:
Summary: This is actually a good book about a serious topic
Review: Another reviewer apparently never read the book (and presumably wouldn't understand it if he did). This book is actually an interesting and fresh look at galois theory in a surprisingly general context. I advise it to anyone with an interest in galois theory and some knowledge of category theory. Please ignore the other reviewer's idiotic advice.

Summary: I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.
Review: I was a little hesitant to buy this book at first because what more can be written about galoshes. But I was pleasantly surprised once I started reading. The author has a clear and concise style that is easy to follow. Chapter 3 goes over polymorphic recalcification in inspiring detail. Chapter 4 was not so inspiring although it is understanding considering the authors had just been released at that point. The final chapter considers algorithmic orthography a "voodoo" science, which I do not agree with, but I understand the author's argument. All in all this was an enjoyable read and the authors legal "problems" do not seem to have influenced their work at all. Although sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
