✦ Synopsis

of late (all those promises made in the Zurich triple book that are yet to be kept!); but "general" categories have become a little suspect, and unwieldy to boot. On the other hand, general lattices have come back with a vengeance in combinatorics, computer science, and logic; in other words in the mainstream mathematics of today. This book shows the richness of the interaction between the notion of order and the notion of group, still going strong after over fifty years.
