L-functions and Eisenstein Series

This is a fantastic book written by one of the leaders in the field. Aimed at advanced graduate students and researchers, it leads them very quickly, and with a remarkable economy of means, to exciting topic at the forefront of the subject, some of which were developped by the author himself and are presented in book form for the first time. The material developped in this book provides fertile ground for new research. Highly recommended!
