Review text

This is a well-written survey of some applications of integral representations of finite groups in abstract group theory, algebraic topology and algebraic number theory. The first section deals with relation modules, the minimum number of generators and the projective rank of relation modules, partial Euler characteristics of finite groups. In the second section the integral representation theory of finite groups is applied to 2-dimensional CW-complexes. In the third section the Galois module structure of local units is given.
