Semimodular Lattices: Theory and Applications uses successive generalizations of distributive and modular lattices to outline the development of semimodular lattices from Boolean algebras. It surveys and analyzes Garrett Birkhoff's concept of semimodularity, and he presents theoretical results as well as applications in discrete mathematics, group theory and universal algebra.
