Zusammenfassung

"The book under review is a welcome and timely addition to the literature, providing the first comprehensive account of the subject of linear methods in the study of automorphisms of nilpotent groups. The author states as his aim to provide "more than a collection of several research papers under one cover. The material is presented here with more detail and perhaps more intelligibly than originally.'' In the reviewer's opinion, the author has indeed succeeded in his task. In a clear and concise style, this work makes a wide range of techniques and results available to a large audience." Mathematical Reviews
