Feb 11, 2018 at 18:38 comment added Omer Rosler @Pedro Sanchez Terraf Actually, these counterexamples are of interest in the sense that if we look at them as pathologies, the properties we require from a universal algebra to prevent them would lead to a more fundamental understanding of the "regularity" of the classical algebraic theories. In analogy, the generalization from the integers to number rings caused the failure of unique factorization, which leaded to the theory of ideals and Dedekindness for a unified framework.

Feb 6, 2018 at 19:46 comment added Gerhard Paseman So it sounds like the answer is one. I recommend Graetzer, Whitehead, Birkhoff, McKenzie McNulty and Taylor, the short course by Jipsen, and some writings of Kearnes and of Willard. And this is just for introductory and overview material, not yet for indepth study. Check those out. Gerhard "And Come Back For More" Paseman, 2018.02.06.
Feb 6, 2018 at 19:33 comment added Omer Rosler Google searches for introductory text all reveal text with basically the same content organized a bit differently, for example: Sankappanavar, H.P. and Burris, S., 1981. A course in universal algebra. Graduate Texts Math, 78.
