From the reviews: This book is a survey of the study of equivariant embeddings of homogeneous spaces for connected reductive algebraic groups. ... The book is well written and puts together many results in a complete and concise manner. (Lucy Moser-Jauslin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 e) The book under review is concerned with the study of equivariant embeddings of homogeneous spaces ... . This monograph provides a compact survey of these issues, including many results of Brion, Knop, Luna, and Vust, among others, as well as the author's own significant contributions to the field. ... The author admirably fills a gap in the current literature on algebraic groups with this book. It should make a welcome addition to any mathematician's library. (Nathan Ilten, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1237, 2012)

From the reviews: The book by D. A. Timashev is a welcome survey of old and new results on actions of algebraic groups on algebraic varieties. ... The book contains an extensive list of references, both to original research articles as well as to books and monographs. It is surely a welcome guide for nonexperts who want to enter the subject and a good reference for the specialist.
