Two volume work containing a contemporary account on "Positivity in Algebraic Geometry"

Both volumes also available as hardcover editions as Vols. 48 and 49 in the series "Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete"

A good deal of the material has not previously appeared in book form

Volume II is more at the research level and somewhat more specialized than Volume I

Volume II contains a survey of positivity for vector bundles, and moves on to a systematic development of the theory of multiplier ideals and their applications
