520    "Preface This text is based on the two-semester course 
       that I have taught over the years at Iowa State 
       University. In the writing, as in my course, I attempt to 
       convey my enthusiasm for the subject and my feelings that 
       it is a worthy object of study for both graduate students 
       and professional mathematicians. In choosing the level of 
       detail, I have taken my inspiration more from the 
       tradition of first-year algebra texts such as van der 
       Waerden, Lang, and Dummit and Foote, than from a typical 
       research monograph. The book is addressed to newcomers to 
       the field, whom I do not wish to overwhelm, more than to 
       veterans seeking an encyclopedic reference work. It is the
       job of the author to decide what to omit. One rule of 
       thumb that I have always used in my classes is to 
       introduce a tool only if it will be applied later in the 
       course. As a teacher, I have always found it frustrating 
       to expend a lot of effort and class time developing some 
       construction and then not be able to demonstrate its 
       importance. Thus, for example, in Chapter 7, the basics of
       commutator theory are developed in the context of 
       congruence-permutable varieties and applied to the 
       characterization of directly representable varieties. The 
       more involved development in the congruence-modular case 
       is omitted since it isn't needed for this application. As 
       I have matured as a teacher, I have come to incorporate 
       many more examples into all of my classes. I have applied 
       that philosophy to the writing of this book. Throughout 
       the text a series of examples is developed that can be 
       used repeatedly to illustrate new concepts as they are 
       introduced"--|cProvided by publisher.
