  Abstract:  The theory of algebraic curves over finite fields has become of great importance, both for its own sake and for the many applications that it has in number theory, finite geometry, coding theory and cryptography as well. Being given the enormous progress in this subject, an encyclopedia-like book devoted to it, like the book published by Professors Hirschfeld, Korchm´aros and Torres, is welcome in the mathematical community. The book is a self-contained introduction to this subject. It contains a huge amount of material, consisting of elementary, classical results, but also of current research topics. The exposition is divided into three parts.
