Reviews

'In these volumes, the authors draw upon the work of many researchers in addition to their own work, in places presenting new proofs or improvements of results. Moreover, the material in Volume 2 using the cyclic splitting of P(n) is based in part upon the unpublished Ph.D. thesis of Helen Weaver ... Much of the material covered has not hitherto appeared in book form, and these volumes should serve as a useful reference. ... readers will find different aspects appealing.' Geoffrey M. L.
