Brand new. We distribute directly for the publisher. This
monograph is an exposition of the theory of central simple
algebras with involution, in relation to linear algebraic
groups. It provides the algebra-theoretic foundations for
much of the recent work on linear algebraic groups over
arbitrary fields. Involutions are viewed as twisted forms
of (hermitian) quadrics, leading to new
developments on the model of the algebraic theory of
quadratic forms. In addition to classical groups, phenomena
