Masaki Kashiwara Professor at the Rims, Kyoto University Plenary speaker ICM 1978 Invited speaker ICM 1990 http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kenkyubu/kashiwara/ Pierre Schapira, Professor at University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI) Invited speaker ICM 1990 http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~schapira/

From the reviews: "This book of Kashiwara and Schapira, recognized specialists in algebraic analysis, is a detailed full-scale exposition of categories, homological algebra and sheaves. These notions are presented from scratch up to the most recent (sometimes new) results ... ." (Corrado Marastoni, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 k)
