Work of Hacon and McKernan and many others is causing a wave of breakthroughs in the Minimal Model Program: we now know that for a smooth projective variety the canonical ring is finitely generated. These new results and methods are reshaping the field. Inspired by this exciting progress, the editors organized a meeting at Schiermonnikoog and invited leading experts to write papers about the recent developments. The result is the present volume, a lively testimony of the sudden advances that originate from these new ideas. This volume will be of interest to a wide range of pure mathematicians, but will appeal especially to algebraic and analytic geometers. 606 $aAlgebra$2bicssc 606 $aAlgebraic geometry$2msc 615 07$aAlgebra 615 07$aAlgebraic geometry 686 $a14-xx$2msc 702 $aFaber$b Carel 702 $avan der Geer$b Gerard 702 $aLooijenga$b Eduard 801 0$bch0018173 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151929503321 996 $aClassification of algebraic varieties$91948156 997 $aUNINA
