    This volume contains reselected lectures presented at the International Conference on rings and radicals which was held at the Hebei Teachers’ University Shijiazhuang, People's Republic of China in August 1994. It comprises 8 up-to-date surveys of aspects of the theory of rings and radicals and 14 accounts of new results on various branches of the theory. This book will be of interest to algebraists at research and professional level.
