This two volume graduate textbook gives a comprehensive state of the art account of describing large subgroups of the unit group of the integral group ring of a finite group and more generally of the unit group of an order in a finite dimensional semisimple rational algebra Since the book is addressed to graduate students as well as young researchers all required background on these diverse areas both old and new is included Supporting problems illustrate the results and complete some of the proofs Volume 1 contains all the details on describing generic constructions of units and the subgroup they generate Volume 2 mainly is about structure theorems and geometric methods Without being encyclopaedic all main results and techniques used to achieve these results are included Basic courses in group theory ring theory and field theory are assumed as background
