The Geometry of Syzygies : A Second Course in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) <Vol. 229>

Algebraic Geometry often seems very abstract, but in fact it is full of concrete examples and problems. As an aid to the reader, the appendices provide summaries of local cohomology and commutative algebra, tying together examples and major results from a wide range of topics.
