Algebraic geometry has benefited enormously from the powerful
general machinery developed in the latter half of the twentieth
century. The cost has been that much of the research of previous
generations is in a language unintelligible to modern workers, in
particular, the rich legacy of classical algebraic geometry, such
as plane algebraic curves of low degree, special algebraic
surfaces, theta functions, Cremona transformations, the theory of
apolarity and the geometry of lines in projective spaces. The
author's contemporary approach makes this legacy accessible to
modern algebraic geometers and to others who are interested in
applying classical results. The vast bibliography of over 600
references is complemented by an array of exercises that extend or
exemplify results given in the book.
