Solid but concise, this account emphasizes Lie algebra's simplicity of theory, offering new approaches to major theorems and extensive treatment of Cartan and related Lie subalgebras over arbitrary fields. 1972 edition.

One purpose of this book is to give a solid but compact account of the theory of Lie algebras over fields of characteristic 0, with emphasis on the basic simplicity of the theory and on new approaches to the major theorems. Another is to give a general and extensive treatment...
