Universal Algebra heralded as ". . . the standard reference in a field
notorious for the lack of standardization . . .", has become the most
authoritative, consistently relied on text in a field with applications
in other branches of algebra and other fields such as combinatorics,
geometry, and computer science.
Each chapter is followed by an extensive list of exercises and problems.
The "state of the art" account also includes new appendices (with
contributions from B. Jónsson, R. Quackenbush, W. Taylor, and G. Wenzel)
and a well selected additional bibliography of over 1250 papers and
books which makes this an indispensable new edition for students,
faculty, and workers in the field.
"This book will certainly be, in the years to come, the basic reference
to the subject."
--- The American Mathematical Monthly (First Edition)
"In this reviewer's opinion [the author] has more than succeeded in
his aim. The problems at the end of each chapter are well-chosen; there
are more than 650 of them. The book is especially suitable for
self-study, as the author frequently provides ample explanation not only
of what he is proving, but also of how and why he is proving it. As a
reference work for the specialist or a text for the student, the book is
highly recommended."
--- Mathematical Reviews (First Edition)
"Since the first day of its appearance in 1968, this book has been the
standard reference in universal algebra, and no book since has reached
its quality."
--- Journal of Symbolic Logic (Second Edition)
