Stanley, Richard P.

Progress in Mathematics (Boston, Mass.). 41. Basel: Birkhäuser. vi, 164 p. (1996).

This is the second edition of a volume reviewed previously (first edition 1983; Zbl 0537.13009). The comments made by the reviewer of the first edition still hold. In this edition, the author added a chapter concerning new work on the face ring of a simplicial complex. He also added a collection of exercises.
