Book Synopsis
In mathematics, 'buildings' are geometric structures that represent groups of Lie type over an arbitrary field. This book presents an introduction to mathematical buildings. It is suitable for those doing research or teaching courses on Lie-type groups, on finite groups, or on discrete groups.

Trade Review
"Ronan's account of the classification of affine buildings is both interesting and stimulating, and his book is highly recommended to those who already have some knowledge and enthusiasm for the theory of buildings." - Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society "[This book] belongs in every research library. Ronan's book will do more [than other books on the subject] to initiate the already motivated reader into current research on buildings and groups." - Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society"
