Mark Ronan is emeritus professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Honorary Professor of Mathematics at University College London. He is the author of Symmetry and the Monster.

"Ronan's account of the classification of affine buildings is both interesting and stimulating, and his book is highly recommended to those who already have some knowledge and enthusiasm for the theory of buildings." - Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society "[This book] belongs in every research library. Ronan's book will do more [than other books on the subject] to initiate the already motivated reader into current research on buildings and groups." - Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society"
