Residues and Duality
by Robin Hartshorne - Springer
The main purpose of these notes is to prove a duality theorem for cohomology of quasi-coherent sheaves, with respect to a proper morphism of locally noetherian preschemes. Various such theorems are already known. Typical is the duality theorem ...

H Ring Spectra and Their Applications
by R. R. Bruner, J. P. May, J. E. McClure, M. Steinberger - Springer
This volume concerns spectra with enriched multiplicative structure. It is a truism that interesting cohomology theories are represented by ring spectra, the product on the spectrum giving rise to the cup products in the theory.
