This may be described as a guide to and a review of the field of representation theory of groups and algebras. The introduction of the term ``combinatorial is due to the way in which the results are set out by reference to diagrams and tableaux and other objects that combinatorialists often use. A welcome feature is a careful listing of fundamental definitions that are hard for an applied mathematician to find in the pure literature. In Part I the symmetric group and the general linear group are dealt with very fully, and generalisations and specialisations to other groups and algebras are given in Part II. What the authors call specialised ``background material and ``more specialised results are given in appendices. About 300 references. Reviewer's remark: Workers in this field should find this paper a very valuable guide to definitions, besides being a ``source book for many years to come. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0927.00011].
