The book is written so as to be accessible to graduates who wish to pursue research in this area but will also form an invaluable reference work for established researchers.

Review

'The book is written in a relaxed style, and begins with some accessible introductory chapters ... It is nicely written and well explained, and proofs in the main are given in full. this book is certainly suitable for a non-expert in the area, or as a graduate course for an advanced student ... All in all, this is a very nice book.' Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
