The subject of this book is the action of permutation groups on
sets associated with combinatorial structures. Each chapter deals
with a particular structure: groups, geometries, designs, graphs
and maps respectively. A unifying theme for the first four chapters
is the construction of finite simple groups. In the fifth chapter,
a theory of maps on orientable surfaces is developed within a
combinatorial framework. This simplifies and extends the existing
literature in the field. The book is designed both as a course text
and as a reference book for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students. A feature is the set of carefully constructed projects,
intended to give the reader a deeper understanding of the subject.
