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.
