Book excerpt: The second volume continues--and presumably concludes since they date to two years after his death--the selection of almost all of Amitsur's (1921-1994) work demonstrating his wide and enduring contribution to algebra, though some in Hebrew and some expositions are not included. The sections here are combinatorial polynomial identity theory and division algebras, each introduced by a mathematician. The papers are reproduced from their original publication in a variety of type styles and pay layouts. The biographical sketch must be in the first volume. There is no index. c. Book News Inc.
