(Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, May, 2014)"Algebra II: Fields with Structure, Algebras and Advanced Topics is . a complete algebra course, including both undergraduate and graduate topics. . The second volume focuses on fields with structure and algebras. . the choice of topics and their organization are excellent and provide a unifying view of most of algebra. In all, Lorenz's book is a wonderful reference for both teachers and researches, and can be used with much profit for independent study by hard-working students." (Luiz Hendrique de Figueiredo, MathDL, July, 2008)"The author has managed to cover such an amazing wealth of advanced material in a very adroit manner, thereby keeping the representation utmost lively, comprehensible, thorough, always straight to the point, essentially self-contained, methodologically elegant and - all in all - admirably reader-friendly. . No doubt, this is an outstanding textbook on advanced topics in abstract algebra, mainly in its field-theoretic and number-theoretic aspects, and its availability in English makes it a unique and utmost valuable enrichment of the international textbook literature on the subject."
