Summary "This book gives a broad introduction to the theory of function algebras and leads to the cutting edge of research. To familiarize the reader from the very beginning on with the algebraic side of function algebras the more general concepts of the Universal Algebra is given in the first part of the book. The second part on function algebras covers the following topics: Galois-connection between function algebras and relation algebras, completeness criterions, clone theory."--Jacket
