This is a self-contained exposition by one of the leading experts in lattice theory, George Gr�tzer, presenting the major results of the last 70 years on congruence lattices of finite lattices, featuring the author's signature Proof-by-Picture method.

Key features:

* Insightful discussion of techniques to construct "nice" finite lattices with given congruence lattices and "nice" congruence-preserving extensions

* Contains complete proofs, an extensive bibliography and index, and over 140 illustrations

* This new edition includes two new parts on Planar Semimodular Lattices and The Order of Principle Congruences, covering the research of the last 10 years

The book is appropriate for a one-semester graduate course in lattice theory, and it is a practical reference for researchers studying lattices.

Reviews of the first edition:

"There exist a lot of interesting results in this area of lattice theory, and some of them are presented inthis book. [This] monograph…is an exceptional work in lattice theory, like all the contributions by this author. … The way this book is written makes it extremely interesting for the specialists in the field but also for the students in lattice theory. Moreover, the author provides a series of companion lectures which help the reader to approach the Proof-by-Picture sections." (Cosmin Pelea, Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Mathematica, Vol. LII (1), 2007)

"The book is self-contained, with many detailed proofs presented that can be followed step-by-step. [I]n addition to giving the full formal details of the proofs, the author chooses a somehow more pedagogical way that he calls Proof-by-Picture, somehow related to the combinatorial (as opposed to algebraic) nature of many of the presented results. I believe that this book is a much-needed tool for any mathematician wishing a gentle introduction to the field of congruences representations offinite lattices, with emphasis on the more 'geometric' aspects." —Mathematical Reviews
