The Theory of Classical Valuations by Paulo Ribenboim

Valuation theory is used constantly in algebraic number theory and field theory, and is currently gaining considerable research interest.

"It is well written, encyclopedic, and authoritative and probably belongs on the shelf of any commutative algebraist or algebraic number theorist"--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

Well known for his contributions in number theory, Paulo Ribenboim has authored over 240 publications, including 13 books. He is now professor emeritus at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontaria. The Ribenboim Prize of the Canadian Number Theory Association is named after him.
