Description:
The study of lattice varieties is has experienced a rapid growth in the last decades, but many of the results discovered in that period appeared only in research papers. This book presents the main results about modular and nonmodular varieties, equational bases and the amalgamation property in a uniform way. The text covers preliminaries that make the material accessible to anyone with an introductory course in universal algebra. Each chapter begins with a short historical introduction and then presents the results with complete proofs. Numerous diagrams illustrate the lattice theory and aid in the visualization of the proofs. Extensive bibliography makes the monograph a useful reference work.

The book is intended to be used as a learning tool by people who do not know the subject. It is intended to be appropriate for non-specialists in the area of representation theory, such as those whose primary interest is topology or combinatorics.
