Abelian varieties are a natural generalization of elliptic curves to higher dimensions, whose geometry and classification are as rich in elegant results as in the one-dimensional ease. The use of theta functions, particularly since Mumford's work, has been an important tool in the study of abelian varieties and invertible sheaves on them. Also, abelian varieties play a significant role in the geometric approach to modern algebraic number theory. In this book, Kempf has focused on the analytic aspects of the geometry of abelian varieties, rather than taking the alternative algebraic or...

In this book Professor Kempf gives an introduction to the theory of algebraic functions on varieties from a sheaf theoretic standpoint. By taking this view he is able to give a clean and lucid account of the subject which will be easily accessible to all newcomers to algebraic varieties, graduate students or experts from other fields alike. Anyone who goes on to study schemes will find that this book is an ideal preparatory text.

The first study of African-centred schooling in the Canadian context. Starting with an in-depth look at the creation of an Africentric public school within the Toronto District School Board, it tells the story of the movement behind that school's creation and lays bare a rich history of activism, organisation, and resistance on the part of numerous African Canadian communities and their allies. The book presents a critical overview of the issues facing radicalised students and offers a unique vision of African-centred education as a strategy for student engagement and social transformation....
