From the reviews:

"The book is aimed at a readership with a solid background in algebra, in particular representation theory, commutative algebra and homological algebra. The volume comprises five chapters and an appendix, and each chapter is divided into four sections. Each chapter consists of the lecture material and the exercises handled during one day at the Oberwolfach Seminar (in 2010) with the same title. ... The book ends with an appendix ... and there is a comprehensive bibliography." (Nadia P. Mazza, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2013)

"The manuscript under review provides a quite nice introduction to the tools used in these classification theorems and offers an excellent starting point for someone new to the area. The manuscript is based on a week-long series of lectures given by the authors to introduce people to the ideas involved in the proof of the classification of localising subcategories of Mod(kG)."
