Algebraic Geometry II

This EMS volume consists of two parts. The first part is devoted to the exposition of the cohomology theory of algebraic varieties. The second part deals with algebraic surfaces. The authors, who are well-known experts in the field, have taken pains to present the material rigorously and coherently. The book contains numerous examples and insights on various topics. This book will be immensely useful to mathematicians and graduate students working in algebraic geometry, arithmetic algebraic geometry, complex analysis and related fields.
