Algebraic Surfaces

The main aim of this book is to present a completely algebraic approach to the Enriques' classification of smooth projective surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. This algebraic approach is one of the novelties of this book among the other modern textbooks devoted to this subject. Two chapters on surface singularities are also included. The book can be useful as a textbook for a graduate course on surfaces, for researchers or graduate students in algebraic geometry, as well as those mathematicians working in algebraic geometry or related fields.
