Reviews
'This is a thorough reference book that consists of three parts ... In summary, the book is an impressive collection of theorems and their proofs.' Miklos Bona, MAA Reviews 'One of the most important achievements of this book is building the first formal theory on G-invariant cartesian decompositions; this brings to the fore a better knowledge of the O'Nan-Scott theorem for primitive, quasiprimitive, and innately transitive groups, together with the embeddings among these groups. This is a valuable, useful, and beautiful book.' Pablo Spiga, Mathematical Reviews 'This is a thorough reference book that consists of three parts ...
