It is well written and the proofs are given in great detail, so that it can serve as a textbook for students as well as a reference for more advanced readers. It consists of nine chapters and an appendix devoted to making the book as self-contained as possible. (Jose Rodriguez, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2016)
