description: The ever-growing field of universal algebra comprises properties common to all algebraic structures, including groups, rings, fields, and lattices. This classic text develops the subject's most general and fundamental notions and includes examinations of Boolean algebras and model theory. Extremely well written, the two-part treatment offers an introduction and a survey of current research, serving as both text and reference."As a graduate textbook, the work is a sure winner. With its clear, leisurely exposition and generous selection of exercises, the book attains its pedagogical objectives stylishly. Moreover, the work will serve well as a research tool…[offering] a rich assortment of significant new results that were previously scattered throughout the technical literature. In most cases, the proofs in the book are tidier than the original arguments." — Mathematical Reviews of the American Mathematical Society.
