David A. Cox coauthored a systematic text on toric varieties with John B. Little and Hal Schenck. The subject connects algebraic geometry with the geometry of polyhedra: convex cones and a fan in toric geometry encode affine pieces and their gluings. The book develops this combinatorial description alongside divisors, homogeneous coordinates and line bundles.[ref]
