Abelian Varieties
David Mumford

David Mumford was awarded the 2007 AMS Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition.
According to the citation, "Abelian Varieties ... remains the definitive account of the subject ... the classical theory is beautifully intertwined with the modern theory, in a way which sharply illuminates both ... [It] will remain for the foreseeable future a classic to which the reader returns over and over".
