Combinatorial Methods: Free Groups, Polynomials, and Free Algebras (2004)Hardcover - 2004, 14 November 2003

The main purpose of this book is to show how ideas from combinatorial group theory have spread to two other areas of mathematics: the theory of Lie algebras and affine algebraic geometry. Some of these ideas, in turn, came to combinatorial group theory from low-dimensional topology in the beginning of the 20th Century.
