Summary
Grothendieck's theory of schemes permeates modern algebraic geometry and underlies its applications to number theory, physics, and applied mathematics. In the book, concepts are illustrated with fundamental examples, and explicit calculations show how the constructions of scheme theory are carried out in practice.

The Geometry of Schemes by David Eisenbud
This text is intended to fill the gap between texts on classical algebraic geometry and the full-blown accounts of the theory of schemes. The text focuses on interesting examples, with a minimum of machinery, to show what is happening in the field. Included is a large number of exercises, spread throughout the text. The prerequisites for reading this book are modest: a little commutative algebra and an acquaintance with algebraic varieties.
"A great subject and expert authors!"
