This book is intended to provide a reasonable selr-contained account of a major portion of the general theory of rings and modules suitable as a text for introductory and more advanced graduate courses. We assume the familiarity with rings usually acquired in standard undergraduate algebra courses. Our general approach is categorical rather than arithmetical. The continuting theme of the text is the study of the relationship between the one-sided ideal structure that a ring may possess and the behavior of its categories of modules.　　本书为英文版。
