Title: The Geometry of Curves and Abelian Varieties
Abstract: Now that we have your attention, let us explain why we would recommend that you not read part of this book. Part A contains a summary of the main results from algebraic geometry that will be needed in our arithmetic investigations. If you begin your study of Diophantine geometry by attempting to read all of Part A and doing all of the exercises, you are likely to feel overwhelmed by the geometry before you reach any of the beautiful arithmetic results. So we suggest that you begin by skimming Part A, possibly reading more closely any material that covers gaps in your knowledge. Then as you read the rest of this book, use Part A as a reference source for geometric facts as they are needed. Having offered this warning and advice, we now begin our (far from brief) survey of algebraic geometry.
