See Henry Ricardo's review of the second edition. In addition to many local corrections and improvements, the new edition has a new chapter on associative algebras. Included in that chapter are theorems characterizing finite-dimensional division algebras over R and over a finite field. The bibliography has also been enlarged with over a hundred new items.
