"This book offers a comprehensive and thorough presentation of crucial research of the field of algebraic coding theory over finite commutative rings, particularly over finite Frobenius rings. It is also a good guide to the literature on the subject. ... This book will be of interest to graduate students and to anyone working in the field of algebraic coding theory, and its applications."
