"It's all terrific stuff. I hope this book will succeed in bringing many young mathematicians to love cohomology, too, and then to go on from there." —MAA Reviews"This book is an excellent text on local cohomology and complements well the existing sources. It will surely become a standard reference on this theory." —Mathematical Reviews
