From the reviews:
"This account of algebraic monoids … starts by recalling the basics of algebraic geometry, algebraic groups and semigroups … . The main question, how a monoid is composed of units and idempotents, is discussed at length … . A most useful account, giving current developments of the subject." (Mathematika, Vol. 52, 2005)
