"This detailed introduction to cubic hypersurfaces and all the techniques needed to study them leads the reader from classical topics to recent developments studying four-dimensional cubic hypersurfaces. With exercises and careful references to the wider literature, this is an ideal text for graduate students and researchers in algebraic geometry"--
