Algebra for advanced beginners

I used this book as a supplement to a course in algebra at master level. Allenby uses a simple step by step approach to the subject supplied with simple examples and some exercises (not that simple).What I realy like with this book is the historical tour of algebra and the brief presentation of many of the worlds famoust mathematicians.I think the simple approach and the historical elements is main reason for still using this book when I am plying with the math.
