This book is a sequel to Lectures on Complex Analytic Varieties: The
Local Paranwtrization Theorem (Mathematical Notes 10, 1970). Its
unifying theme is the study of local properties of finite analytic
mappings between complex analytic varieties; these mappings are those in
several dimensions that most closely resemble general complex analytic
mappings in one complex dimension. The purpose of this volume is rather
to clarify some algebraic aspects of the local study of complex analytic
varieties than merely to examine finite analytic mappings for their own
sake.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from
the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions
preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting
them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the
Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich
scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by
Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
