| Feb 19, 2012 at 18:56 | comment | added | user19475 | Hi, the old Neukirch, Class Field Theory was republished by Alexander Schmidt: mathi.uni-heidelberg.de/~schmidt/Neukirch/index.html (German only, but an English version will appear soon) | |
| Feb 19, 2012 at 15:22 | comment | added | Keenan Kidwell | About a month and a half ago I noticed Amazon had Arithmetic Geometry available again...well, to ship in 1 to 2 months. It also claimed to be a revised second printing with a new index. I ordered it and got it after about 1 week and a half. It doesn't have an index, but it is Arithmetic Geometry...although some of the pages are printed strangely, i.e., the bottom margin is way too small. Still well worth $56 though. | |

| Mar 15, 2010 at 22:32 | comment | added | Cam McLeman | Thanks for the tips, everyone. Also, Haberland's book seems largely subsumed by Koch's "Galois Theory of p-Extensions" (for which Franz has written an excellent postscript), and anything missing from there is almost surely in NSW. But boy is it hard to get hold of. | |
| Mar 15, 2010 at 20:02 | comment | added | Jim Humphreys | I guess I should keep my copies of the last three books on your list under lock and key. (Not to mention all three of the Curtis & Reiner books.) Sad to say, commercial publishers are not at all reliable about keeping advanced math books in print (especially at affordable prices). These books are not big moneymakers. | |
| Mar 15, 2010 at 18:35 | comment | added | user717 | @Robin: Exactly! Just Neukirch's older German book on class field theory (Klassenkörpertheorie) is different (there the cohomological approach is taken). | |
| Mar 15, 2010 at 17:53 | comment | added | Robin Chapman | As far as I can tell, the whole content of Neukirch's "Class Field Theory" is embedded in his big book "Algebraic Number Theory". | |
| Mar 15, 2010 at 15:55 | comment | added | Franz Lemmermeyer | Neukirch and Borevich-Shafarevich are available through www.eurobuch.com, (as is Cornell et al, although some copies have fantasy prices). | |
