From the reviews:"The present momgraphy is the first exposition in book form of this theory and of its major applications. Each section of the book is complemented with exerices; each chapter ends with useful comments, and open problems are suggested throughout. The book leads clearly and rapidly an interested reader from basic results to the research level." ---Zentralblatt MATH"The book is an excellent source for getting familiar with the recent developments in geometric and representation theoretic questions in the theory of algebraic groups, mainly in characteristic p." ---Monatshefte für Mathematik“This is a truly fantastic book. It is the first comprehensive text on Frobenius splitting and its applications to geometry and representation theory. If this was a one-paragraph review, I would say buy the book, study it carefully and then apply the contents to a research project’. The readers (and the reviewer) are in the authors’debt.”(MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS)
