A. Froehlich, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 1978: "As a contribution to the history of mathematics, this is a model of its kind. While adhering to the basic outlook of Eisenstein & Kronecker, it provides new insight into their work in the light of subsequent developments, right up to the present day. As one would expect from this author, it also contains some pertinent comments looking into the future. It is not however just a chapter in the history of our subject, but a wide-ranging survey of one of the most active branches of mathematics at the present time. The book has its own very individual flavour, reflecting a sort of combined Eisenstein-Kronecker-Weil personality. Based essentially on Eisenstein's approach to elliptic functions via infinite series over lattices in the complex plane, it stretches back to the very beginnings on the one hand & reaches forward to some of the most recent research work on the other. The persistent reader will be richly rewarded".Weil, Andre is the author of 'Elliptic Functions according to Eisenstein and Kronecker', published 1976 under ISBN 9780387074221 and ISBN 0387074228.
