Summary:

"Wolmer Vasconcelos was one of the giants in the development of Commutative Algebra in the latter half of the twentieth century and the first decades of the twenty-first century. This work collects in one place essays illustrating the important developments of his work particularly in commutative algebra that permits the reader to see the development of his important ideas and how they influence the development of mathematics today"-- De Gruyter Brill
