After an introductory chapter giving the basic definitions, separate chapters explain three ways of expressing universal properties: via adjoint functors, representable functors, and limits. A final chapter ties all three together."-- UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1512/2014451716-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1512/2014451716-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1512/2014451716-t.html ER -
