From the reviews:

„Algebraic geometry generally studies the properties of solution sets of systems of polynomial equations without direct reference to the actual polynomials used in these systems. … This is especially desirable for classwork where the development of the abstract machinery generally outlasts the patience of the students, except possibly the most motivated ones. … However, the book can … be used in an introductory algebraic geometry course where the students will have the advantage of experimenting with examples as their knowledge grows.“ (A.
