This book is an introduction to local analytic geometry, with emphasis on the study of singularities of germs of complex analytic spaces. It is very well written and the authors, assuming very little background on the side of the reader, manage to cover in less than 400 pages a large amount of beautiful material, presented in a didactical way. The book contains chapters on Commutative Algebra, Affine Algebraic Geometry, functions of several complex variables and germs of analytic spaces, Plane Curve Singularities, the behaviour under specialization of several fundamental invariants, standard (or Groebner) bases, the Artin and Grauert Approximation Theorems, Simple Hypersurface Singularities and an introduction to the theory of deformations of singularities. In general the presentation is self-contained, with complete proofs of the theorems involved. There are many examples and exercises. This seems to be an excellent introduction to the subject and a very appropriate textbook for a graduate course on these matters.
