'This monograph is a bridge between the classical theory and a modern approach via arithmetic geometry. The authors aim to provide a clear path through the subject for graduate students and researchers. They have re-examined many results and much of the literature, and give a thorough account of several topics at a level not seen before in book form.' L'enseignement mathematique
