Description of  Rational and Nearly Rational Varieties (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics, Series Number 92)

Arising from a summer school course taught by Jnos Kollr, this book develops the modern theory of rational varieties at a level appropriate for graduate study. Kollr's original course has been developed, with his co-authors, into a state-of-the-art treatment of the classification of algebraic varieties. The authors have included numerous exercises with solutions, which help students reach the stage where they can begin to tackle related contemporary research problems.
