Your survey is too compact and (in my opinion) is not user-friendly. On the other hand rewriting all proofs with algebraic machineries kills the beauty of this theory (again, in my opinion). So I don't like Herzog and Hibi's book. I think it is necessary to show the concrete combinatorial nature of algebraic shifting. </p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/54232/a-book-you-would-like-to-write/89130#89130 Comment by Afshin Goodarzi Afshin Goodarzi 2012-02-22T19:02:55Z 2012-02-22T19:02:55Z I did not mean to criticize Kalai's article. I should mention that Kalai invented algebraic shifting theory. However by the last sentence I meant the original works of Gil Kalai! Thank you for your suggestion.
