This book highlights the contributions of the eminent mathematician and leading algebraist David F. Anderson in wide-ranging areas of commutative algebra. It provides a balance of topics for experts and non-experts, with a mix of survey papers to offer a synopsis of developments across a range of areas of commutative algebra and outlining Anderson's work. The book is divided into two sectionssurveys and recent research developmentswith each section presenting material from all the major areas in commutative algebra. The book is of interest to graduate students and experienced researchers alike.

Presents a collection of research from David F. Anderson as well as other experts in the field Provides a valuable source of cutting-edge research in a number of subfields of commutative algebra Is useful to graduate students and researchers
