Galois theory
Stewart, Ian.2nd ed. - London ; New York : Chapman and Hall, 1989.This book is an attempt to present the Galois theory as a showpiece of mathematical unification, bringing together several different branches of the subject and creating a powerful machine for the study of problems of considerable historical and mathematical importance. The central theme is the application of the Galois group to the quintic equation. As well as the traditional approach by way of the "general" polynomial equation, the author has included a direct approach which demonstrates the insolubility by radicals of a specific quintic polynomial with integer coefficients.
