This is another book I want to see. Instead of breaking down into group, rings & fields like the standard presentation, it's broken down into commutative & noncommutative structures. As far as I know, that's new, and other than that it's generally a good book too.

That's a very interesting approach! I'll have to check the book out.
 
Many years ago, as the internet was coming of age, I burned over 500 pounds of technical manuals. I realized I can look things up on the internet faster than I can find something in a technical manual. And just about anything I might need could be found online. But letting go of my several shelves worth of college text and other science books is another matter. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but there is very little if anything I can't find online now. Books are heavy and a pain...
