The text is a well-written survey dealing with algebraic theories in the sense of \textit{F. W. Lawvere} and with related topics. Lawvere introduced algebraic theories in 1963 as a category-theoretical approach to equationally defined algebraic structures. It has turned out to be very fruitful and the text brings the reader to some recent developments, including the duality of \textit{J. Adámek, F. W. Lawvere} and the reviewer. The text includes the relation of algebraic theories to monads, exact and regular categories in the sense of Barr, Lawvere's characterization of varieties of universal algebras, quasivarieties, localizations, locally finitely presentable categories and Mal'cev categories. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0941.00015].
