It is demonstrated that torsors provide a unified approach to several branches of the theory which were hitherto developing in parallel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'… the book provides an excellent account of the subject for the non-expert.' T. Szamuely, Zentralblatt für Mathematik\u003cbr\u003e'The book is written in a clear and lucid manner with detailed examples that balance the abstract theory with concrete facts. It is reasonably self-contained and can therefore be recommended to newcomers to the recent development of the descent'.
