This book provides careful and detailed introductions to some of the latest advances in three significant areas of rapid development in commutative algebra and its applications. The book is based on courses at the Winter School on Commutative Algebra and Applications held in Barcelona: Tight closure and vector bundles, by H. Brenner; Combinatorics and commutative algebra, by J. Herzog; and Constructive desingularization, by O. Villamayor.
