I need to read about finite abelian groups.

I searched 'finite abelian group' on amazon and the closest search result was 'finite group theory'. Googling didn't help either.

Does there exist a book dedicated to finite abelian groups? If yes, and if you know of a good one then please reply.

Right now I am primarily concerned with the action of $\text{Aut}(A)$ on $A$ where $A$ is a finite abelian group. If you know of a good source of literature in this particular topic then please help.

I doubt there will be books written exclusively on finite abelian groups, because finite abelian groups are quite well characterized by the results here. Also, I have not read it, but this might be of interest.
 
Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
