Abstract
The theory of infinite soluble groups has developed in directions quite different from the older theory of finite soluble groups. A noticeable feature of the infinite theory is the strong interaction with commutative algebra, which is due to the role played by the group ring. Despite this fact the exposition that follows is largely self-contained.
