{\large
\noindent Chapters \ref{git} to \ref{multi} explore further aspects of
the theory of toric varieties.  This part of the book assumes a wide
knowledge of algebraic geometry, though we give careful references for
all of the tools used in our study of toric geometry.  The topics
presented here are just of few of many rich areas of inquiry
encountered in the study of toric varieties.}
