H Ring Spectra and Their Applicationsby R. R. Bruner, J. P. May, J. E. McClure, M. Steinberger - Springer
This volume concerns spectra with enriched multiplicative structure. It is a truism that interesting cohomology theories are represented by ring spectra, the product on the spectrum giving rise to the cup products in the theory.
