Ample Subvarieties of Algebraic Varietiesby Robin Hartshorne - Springer
These notes are an enlarged version of a three-month course of lectures. Their style is informal. I hope they will serve as an introduction to some current research topics, for students who have had a one year course in modern algebraic geometry.

Algebraic Geometryby J.S. Milne
These notes are an introduction to the theory of algebraic varieties. In contrast to most such accounts they study abstract algebraic varieties, not just subvarieties of affine and projective space. This approach leads naturally to scheme theory.

Lectures on Torus Embeddings and Applicationsby Tadao Oda - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
Theory of torus embeddings has find many applications. The point of the theory lies in its ability of translating meaningful algebra-geometric phenomena into very simple statements about the combinatorics of cones in affine space over the reals.
