Reviews
'It has a down-to-earth and inviting style (no small achievement in a book about functorial algebraic geometry). It is elegant, precise, and incisive, and it is strong on both theory and calculation.' Michael Berg, MAA Reviews
'This book is likely to be quite useful to graduate students in algebraic topology. For years it has been an informal tradition for students of algebraic topology to teach themselves enough of the foundations of algebraic geometry to be able to translate between theorems about Hopf algebroids and theorems about algebraic stacks, and then to proceed to translate, as much as possible, calculations and theorems in algebraic topology into equivalent formulations in terms of moduli stacks of formal groups and related objects. This book does a great service to such students (and their advisors!), as it gives good answers to many of the questions such students inevitably ask.' Andrew Salch, MatSciNet
'The presentation is lucid, pedagogical, and also offers a fresh point of view on classical topics. It draws from several mostly unpublished sources, for instance Strickland's manuscripts or various sets of notes by Goerss, Hopkins, and Lurie, and combines them in a single uniform treatment. Moreover, it contains a wealth of references to the published and unpublished literature that guides the interested reader to further topics that are only discussed in passing.' Tobias Barthel, zbMATH Open
